Juan Manuel Fangio Museum

The Juan Manuel Fangio Museum is a racing museum in Balcarce displaying over 50 race cars across six levels and 4,600 square meters. The space also holds extensive collections of trophies, photographs, and motorsport memorabilia documenting decades of racing history.

The museum opened in 1986 with Juan Manuel Fangio present at the inauguration, establishing an important landmark for Formula One racing heritage. This opening became a turning point in preserving the story of racing in Argentina.

The museum tells the story of how racing evolved across different decades through vehicles from major manufacturers like Alfa Romeo, Mercedes-Benz, Ferrari, and Maserati. The collection reflects how motorsport shaped the imagination and dreams of people around the world.

The museum is open daily from 10 AM to 5 PM on weekdays and until 6 PM on weekends, with extended hours during January and February. Plan to spend several hours exploring the different levels and collections.

Inside the museum is the original mechanical workshop where Juan Manuel Fangio started his career as a mechanic before becoming a champion. This preserved workspace tells the story of his rise from humble beginnings to the top of racing.
