Pablo Ducrós Hicken Film Museum

The Museo del Cine Pablo Ducrós Hicken is a film museum in La Boca that preserves extensive material about Argentine cinema history. The building houses film reels, cameras, projectors, costumes, and other objects that show how Argentine films were made.

The museum was founded in 1971 when the widow of Pablo Ducrós Hicken donated her husband's extensive collection to create the institution. This act of preservation marked the beginning of an archive dedicated to safeguarding Argentine film heritage.

The museum shows how Argentine cinema told the stories of the nation and shaped how people saw themselves. You can see costumes, scripts, and personal items from actors that reveal what filmmaking looked like in different eras.

The museum is located in La Boca and is easy to reach when you consider the neighborhood layout. Visitors should plan to spend time exploring the exhibitions thoroughly, especially if you are interested in specific films or periods of Argentine cinema.

The museum operates from two separate locations in Buenos Aires: one for public exhibitions and another for administration and storage of the collection. This arrangement allows it to preserve more materials than would be possible in a single space.
