Get Out!: Dinosaurs, New York jazz, and Netflix

This week’s lineup has a packed (and varied) agenda across Buenos Aires. A new immersive exhibition at La Rural traces billions of years of evolution, while International Jazz Day brings top-tier musicians to Bebop Club and streaming fans flock to the city’s Exhibition Center for a Netflix-pallooza. Pop and rock fans can catch major local and international acts, and beer lovers can head to a gluten-free brewery night.  If you’re in the mood for a short getaway over the long weekend, there’s Colonia del Sacramento in Uruguay, right across the river. You can check out our guide to enjoy the city beyond its postcard streets and discover a quieter, more local food scene.  As always, the Herald’s got you covered.  Life Chronicles: immersive evolution April 30 (opening)Tuesday to Friday, 12 p.m. to 8 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Sunday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.; holidays, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.Pabellón Frers, La Rural (Av.
