Museo del Bicentenario

This guide to the Museo del Bicentenario in Buenos Aires opens in 1933, when newspaper magnate Natalio Botana invited Mexican muralist David Alfaro Siqueiros to paint an extraordinary mural in the basement of his country estate. It follows the team of young Argentine painters and a Uruguayan designer who joined the project, and an affair that began during the months of work — one that ended in a very public falling-out between both couples. You'll also hear about the vaulted brick galleries beneath the palace, built above the ruins of Buenos Aires's original Spanish fort.
