Art and antiques places in Bs As

I have 2 very close cousins from NY, going to BA for the 1st. time next Febuary.
They enjoy very much art and antiques whenever they travel as he owns an antique shop in NY and she is an art teacher and jewelry designer.
They are very enthusiastic about going to visit this wonderful city, as I have recommended them so giving my experience.
We will appreciate any suggestions about the best places in BA for the art scene ( galleries, museums) and antiques. I went to San Telmo on sunday and know about the street market and several antique shops in the area, but any other recommendation will be welcome...
Many thanks!

Here is a good source of knowledge

ob Grassinetti, [email protected] His mobile is 15 4475 3983. He speaks fluent English and works as a antiques shopping guide

The Malba museum and the Museo de Bellas Artes are worth checking out as well.

On Wed nights there is an antique auction at a shop on Libertad between Posadas and Libertador. The guy I mentioned earlier can translate or provide assistance with language if needed.....
