Pablo Ducrós Hicken Film Museum, Film history museum in La Boca, Argentina.

The Museo del Cine Pablo Ducrós Hicken occupies a 1916 exposed-brick building of Lombard Romanesque style, part of the former Compañía Ítalo Argentina de Electricidad power plant at Caffarena 51 in La Boca. It has permanent and temporary exhibition rooms, a 70-seat auditorium equipped for analogue and digital projection, and an education area for workshops. A second venue at Ministro Brin 615 holds the archive, library, video library and film depository.

The museum was founded in 1971 after the widow of Pablo Ducrós Hicken donated her husband's collection to the city of Buenos Aires. That donation became the foundation of Argentina's only public archive devoted entirely to national film.

Since 1973 the museum has held an annual Noche de Homenaje al Cine Argentino, honouring a figure of national cinema with a replica of the Pathé camera Mario Gallo used to shoot El fusilamiento de Dorrego in 1910. In 1999 it polled 100 critics and researchers, who chose Crónica de un niño solo and Camila as the most important Argentine films. It also screens early Argentine cinema and new directors' work at festivals such as BAFICI.

The museum sits in La Boca, a colorful neighborhood in the south of Buenos Aires that is easy to walk from the Caminito street area. If you have a specific interest in a period of Argentine cinema, it helps to look up the exhibition rooms in advance so you can focus your visit.

The museum's holdings are split across two separate locations in Buenos Aires, one open to the public and one used for storage and administration. This means a large part of the collection remains out of sight for most visitors and is accessible mainly to researchers.
