Ricardo Rojas' House Museum - Research Institute, National history museum in Recoleta, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The Casa Museo de Ricardo Rojas at Charcas 2837, Recoleta, was built from 1927 by architect Ángel Guido following Rojas's book Eurindia. Its facade closely resembles the Casa de Tucumán, and the house is organised around a central courtyard with a fountain. It holds Rojas's library and rotating exhibitions on Argentine literary history.

In 1927 Ricardo Rojas commissioned architect Ángel Guido to build the house on Charcas 2837, basing the design on Rojas' 1924 book Eurindia; its facade echoes the Casa de Tucumán. Rojas lived there from 1929 until 1957, and after his death and that of his wife Julieta Quinteros the house passed to the national state, which opened it as a museum in 1962.

The house's facade deliberately echoes the Casa de Tucumán, the 1816 independence declaration site, part of Rojas' pedagogical aim of forming citizens in a national identity. Its name honours Rojas, who won the 1923 National Prize for Letters and served as rector of the University of Buenos Aires.

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.

Rojas commissioned the house in 1927 after visiting Victor Hugo's home in France, and asked Ángel Guido to base the design on his 1924 book Eurindia. The facade deliberately resembles the Casa de Tucumán, the 1816 independence site.
