A cultural icon in Punta del Este
In the heart of the elegant Beverly Hills neighborhood, the Ralli Museum stands as an architectural and cultural jewel. This residential sector, surrounded by majestic trees and modern mansions, is a place that combines tranquility and exclusivity, attributes that also characterize the museum.
With more than 6,000 square meters of construction, the building reflects a perfect fusion between nature and art, thanks to the design of Uruguayan architects Marita Casciani and Manuel Quinteiro.

Unlike many other museums, the Ralli Museum maintains a firm commitment to accessibility. Admission is completely free, and its policy includes benefits such as free parking, Wi-Fi for visitors and even the possibility of touring its facilities accompanied by pets. These characteristics make it a truly inclusive space, designed to welcome all types of public.
The history of the Ralli Museum and the vision of Harry Recanati
The creation of the Ralli Museum was the result of the vision of retired banker Harry Recanati, who together with his wife, Dr. Martine Recanati, decided to dedicate his life and assets to the promotion of art.

In the 1980s, after selling his banks, Recanati founded the Ralli Foundation, a non-profit organization that would become a pioneer in establishing museums in different countries with a common goal: to make the work of contemporary Latin American artists known outside their national borders.

The Punta del Este museum was the first of the five that make up this international network. Later, branches were opened in Santiago de Chile (1992), Caesarea, Israel (1993 and 2007), and Marbella, Spain (2000). Each of these spaces shares the same principles: financial independence, absence of commercial activities, and a strong commitment to artistic excellence.

Over the years, the Ralli Foundation proved to be an innovative model and inspired other institutions to replicate its approach.
