Museo del Transporte Carlos Hillner Decoud

The Museo del Transporte Carlos Hillner Decoud is a transport museum in Quilmes that houses a large collection of carriages, boats, transport carts, and ship models. The building itself follows English architectural style with carved wooden porticos that define its appearance and character.

The museum was founded in 1963 after the property was acquired in 1927. The collection brings together carriages from European and Argentine private collections that were gathered over the decades.

The collection shows how transportation shaped daily life and movement in Argentina over time. Objects on display reveal the different ways people traveled and the choices available to them across generations.

The museum is located near Laprida and Ricardo Rojas streets and is open to visitors daily. Plan your visit during typical museum hours and reach out to local tourism information if you need specific details about access or current conditions.

The property became locally known as 'El Dorado', a name reflecting its historical importance in the region. The carriages and vehicles are maintained in their original condition, displaying the craftsmanship and details of earlier periods.
