Why make time for it

Look for a project that changes what you notice about the streets outside. A model, a plan or an unfamiliar way of using space can give the rest of the day a different perspective.

The exhibition header lists 23 September–18 October 2026 in the museum’s temporary exhibition pavilion. The September programme separately announces an inauguration on 22 September at 18:00. Our regular public sessions begin on 23 September; they do not turn the inauguration into an extra full visiting day.

Admission is free. The wider biennial includes a separate forum and other locations; this page covers the HABITAR exhibition at Avenida del Libertador 1473. The cover is a building photograph from 2017, not an installation view.
