Museo en Tigre, Buenos Aires, Argentina, Naval museum in Tigre, Argentina

The Museo Naval de la Nación occupies a building erected in 1879 under President Nicolás Avellaneda as the Navy's first mechanical workshops, on the Luján River in Tigre. Its covered rooms hold scale ship models, navigation instruments, weapons and archaeological remains, while the open Artillery and Aviation Park displays naval aircraft and the original bridge of the ARA Alférez Sobral.

The Naval Museum of the Nation opened on 20 May 1892 in a room of the Centro Naval, a club founded in 1882 by navy officers. In 1914 it moved to the club's new headquarters at Córdoba and Florida. Starting in 1941, under director and naval historian Héctor Raúl Ratto, the collection was transferred to the former Talleres Nacionales de Marina, built in 1879, and reopened there in 1946. The building was declared a National Historic Monument in 1979.

The museum's name honours the Argentine Navy, whose officers founded the Centro Naval club in 1882 and opened a naval museum in its rooms on 20 May 1892. The Manuel Belgrano room covers civil, commercial, sporting and scientific sailing, and displays the LEHG II, the double-ended ketch built in Tigre in which Vito Dumas sailed around the world in 1942-1943.

The museum occupies the 1879 building of the former Talleres Nacionales de Marina at Paseo Victorica 602, on the Luján River. The covered rooms and the open Parque de Artillería y Aviación are visited in sequence, so allow time for both. The artillery and aviation park is the only outdoor space and holds the original bridge of the ARA Alférez Sobral.

The museum's Manuel Belgrano room holds the LEHG II, a double-ended sailboat built in Tigre in which Vito Dumas circumnavigated the globe between 1942 and 1943. The open-air Artillery and Aviation Park displays the original bridge of the aviso ARA Alférez Sobral (A-9), kept as a tribute to the heroes of the Malvinas War.
