Centro Cultural Kirchner Argentina Postcard

This postcard features Centro Cultural Kirchner in Argentina. Photo credit: Karla Robinson, 2022. According to lonelyplanet.com, "It was former president Néstor Kirchner who, in 2005, first proposed turning the abandoned former central post office into a cultural centre. He died in 2010 before the project was completed, but this breathtaking cultural centre was named in his honour. Within the vast beaux-arts structure – which stands eight stories tall and takes up an entire city block – are multiple art galleries and events spaces. The highlight is the Ballena Azul, a concert hall with world-class acoustics. The original building, which was modelled on New York City’s main post office, took nearly 30 years to complete – it was finished in 1928. Restoration for the cultural centre began in 2009 and it opened in May 2015. The architects used glass and stainless steel to maintain and add to the beauty of the original structure."
