The museum was created by Argentine businessman Eduardo F. Costantini. It is a not-for-profit institution featuring the Costantini Collection, and also a dynamic cultural center, that constantly updates art and film exhibitions and develops cultural activities.

The mission of the MALBA is to collect, preserve, research and promote Latin American art from the onset of the 20th century to the present. This also involves educating the public to foster their knowledge in Latin American artists, in the diversity of cultural and artistic holdings in this region.

The museum's permanent collection is dedicated to Latin American production, holding over 400 pieces form 160 artists which range from the beginnings of modern art to recent contemporary works. MALBA's collection include works from Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, Mexico, Ecuador, Cuba, Colombia, Venezuela, Chile amongst other countries.
