Salón 1923, Museum in Palacio Barolo rooftop, Monserrat, Argentina
Salón 1923 occupies the 16th floor of Palacio Barolo and features two outdoor terraces overlooking the Obelisco and Congress building. From this vantage point, visitors can observe the city in different light and seasons.
The space traces back to original plans by architect Mario Palanti and businessman Luis Barolo for a rooftop establishment within this building. What began as their vision eventually became a museum dedicated to preserving that era.
The interior reflects 1920s design with period furniture and decorative pieces that recreate the look of that era. Staff members wear clothing from the time, reinforcing the sense of stepping back into a chapter of Buenos Aires' past.
Access is typically available daily with extended hours on weekends. Those planning to photograph from the terraces should note that lighting changes throughout the day.
The museum houses an Urban Lighthouse structure that gives the space an unexpected feature. This structure offers visitors an additional perspective when viewing the city from above.
