Architect Frida Escobedo will design the expansion of the Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires (MALBA), announced as part of the institution’s 25th anniversary celebrations. The project will be developed beneath Plaza República del Perú, doubling the museum’s exhibition space, and is expected to open in late 2029 or early 2030.

The project seeks to go beyond the museum’s physical expansion, establishing new relationships between its programs and the public realm. The expansion will allow MALBA to extend its activities and presence within the city while preserving the plaza as an open and public space.
