A night at the museums

Once a year in Buenos Aires, usually the 1st week in November, over one hundred museums open up to the general public for free admission. By printing out a free bus pass which includes over 40 buses the general public can travel from museum to museum completely free of charge from 7.30pm to 3.30am!

The museums are all over Buenos Aires and include world famous museums such as Museum de Arte Moderno y el Planetario, with usual admissions costing around 40 pesos.  Twelve of the Voluntario Global volunteers took the night to explore the museums, however we were slightly delayed due to the gay pride march down our road! (Also Amazing).

We only managed to visit two museums, the Evita Museum; here we saw a band playing tango music and the Polish museum where we saw a classic Polish dance.  Both of which were in Palermo and so we didn’t need to take the bus, however if we had been more organized we potentially could have seen a lot more! I would advise to arrive early to museums as you can see from the picture above the queues were HUGE!

Siempre decimos que el voluntariado es un proceso de aprendizaje, y un proceso de aprendizaje jamás sucede de manera aislada. Por lo tanto el voluntariado también es una experiencia colectiva.

Volunteering as a collective experience

As we always say, volunteering is a learning process. And a learning process is never isolated. Volunteering is also a collective experience signed by the relation we'll create with the communities we'll work with.
