For a full and rewarding visit to MNAV, we recommend setting aside between 1 and 2 hours. This will allow you to explore the galleries at a relaxed pace and appreciate the works without rushing, especially if you stop at the temporary exhibitions.

MNAV is Uruguay’s most important museum and houses the country’s largest collection of national art, from the colonial period to the present day, including works by renowned artists such as Blanes, Figari, and Torres García. It is a fundamental institution for understanding the country’s artistic and cultural identity.
