Museo Carlos Gardel, Buenos Aires, Tango singer residence museum in Abasto, Argentina
The museum occupies a traditional house with rooms arranged around a central courtyard, displaying photographs, records, and musical instruments from Carlos Gardel's life.
Carlos Gardel purchased this residence at Jean Jaurés 735 in 1927, living there with his mother Berta until 1933 before departing for performances in New York.
The museum preserves the memory of Argentina's influential tango musician through exhibitions of personal items, documents, and continuous playback of his recorded songs.
Guided tours commence at the entrance hall, leading visitors through connected rooms that maintain original features including the kitchen, bathroom, and ironing facilities.
The preserved 1920s bathroom and kitchen contain authentic household objects from the period when Gardel resided in this Buenos Aires property.

Buenos Aires reveals a patrimonial wealth that goes beyond the usual circuits. This collection gathers places that tell the story of the Argentine capital through its architecture, green spaces, and cultural institutions. From the XVIIIth-century tunnel network of El Zanjón de Granados to the 22 stories of Palacio Barolo, these sites reflect the city's urban evolution. The itinerary includes diverse sites such as Palermo's Japanese Garden with its ponds and pavilions, the Museo de Arte Español Enrique Larreta showcasing works from the Middle Ages to the 20th century, and the moving Floralis Genérica sculpture whose petals open at sunrise. Neighborhoods like San Telmo, Barracas, and Colegiales offer architectural discoveries such as 19th-century passages, facades decorated with mosaics on Calle Lanín, and the Mercado de las Pulgas filled with Argentine antiques. These locations allow exploring Buenos Aires beyond postcards and observe how the city has preserved its history while growing. Each site provides a different perspective on porteña culture, from Carlos Gardel’s tango to European and Asian influences shaping the city’s identity.
