Ricardo Rojas' House Museum - Research Institute

Ricardo Rojas' House Museum is a Spanish-style residence featuring a central courtyard and fountain in Recoleta. The building displays traditional architectural details and houses an extensive library collection along with rotating exhibitions on Argentine literary history.

Ricardo Rojas, an influential Argentine writer, lived in this residence from 1882 until 1957 and made it a center of cultural activity. After his death the building was converted to a museum in 1962 to preserve his legacy and educational contributions.

The residence served as a meeting place for Argentine writers and intellectuals throughout the 20th century. You can still see the spaces where literary discussions and educational debates took place.

The museum opens Thursday through Saturday, allowing plenty of time to explore the rooms and collections at your own pace. It is worth checking ahead to learn about any special exhibitions or research programs that might be happening during your visit.

The building blends European and American indigenous design elements in an architecture that bridges cultures and continents. This fusion appears throughout the spaces and reflects Rojas' own interest in cultural exchange.
