The Severo Vaccaro Museum of Comic and Carricature opened its doors in the old Bureau de Change called Vaccaro in 1945.

The Modern Art Museum was the brainchild of art critic, Rafael Squirru and diplomat and sculptor, Pablo Curatella Manes. It was first established in 1956.

In 1960, the collection was moved to a permanent space in the Teatro San Martin. In 1986, it was relocated to its present premises, a former cigarette factory in the San Telmo neighborhood of Buenos Aires.
