Museo Carlos Alonso – Mansión Stoppel

What to expect

This is a place for seeing changing exhibitions, not a collection that should be assumed to remain identical from one visit to the next. The City of Mendoza has used the venue for displays connected with Carlos Alonso, local artists and cultural programs. That makes it worth checking the current exhibition before going, especially if you are planning around a particular artist or event.

The mansion’s architectural details are part of the experience: municipal information describes restored ceiling mouldings, ironwork, marble finishes, stained glass and woodwork. Visitors can therefore combine time in the galleries with a closer look at the house itself.

Location and planning your visit

• Address: Emilio Civit 348, Mendoza City.
• Best for: contemporary and local art, temporary exhibitions, and historic architecture.
• Before you go: check the City’s current cultural agenda for opening hours, admission, accessibility and the exhibition on view. Hours published for individual holidays or events are date-specific and may not apply on an ordinary day.

The mansion is on the route between downtown Mendoza and Parque General San Martín, so it can fit into a day combining museums, a walk along Emilio Civit and time in the park. For other collections and museums in the city, see our guide to museums in Mendoza City.
