Historical Museum of Buenos Aires Cornelio Saavedra

The museum occupies a 19th-century mansion set within General Paz Park and displays historical objects from Buenos Aires. The ten exhibition rooms contain weapons, furniture, and personal items that document daily life from a particular period.

The mansion was built in 1870 by Luis Maria Saavedra and was later transformed into a museum. This transformation made the building an important place to preserve the history and development of the city.

The museum is named after a notable historian and displays how wealthy families lived in the 1800s through preserved furniture, clothing, and silverware. The rooms give a sense of daily life among the upper classes and their taste in that era.

The museum is open Wednesday through Sunday, with longer visiting hours on weekends. Access is through the park, which allows for a walk through the green space before or after your visit.

Historical cannons from different eras stand outdoors, reminding visitors of the military history of the region. One of these pieces was immortalized in a poem by an Argentine writer and draws particular attention.
