Museo Histórico Cornelio de Saavedra

The Cornelio de Saavedra museum occupies a mansion built in 1870 with ten exhibition rooms spread across multiple floors. The rooms contain furniture, weapons, silverware, and personal objects from the 19th century.

The museum was founded in 1925 and preserves objects and documents that show how Argentina developed over time. Its collections focus on periods that shaped the country's character.

The collection displays objects from different periods that show how people lived in Argentina, what they owned, and what mattered to them. You can see old furniture, weapons, and personal items that belonged to notable individuals.

The building sits near General Paz Park and is easy to reach using public transportation. It helps to have a plan when you arrive since the exhibitions are spread across multiple levels.

Several historical cannons sit on the grounds, one of which inspired a poem by Argentine writer Baldomero Fernandez Moreno. This cannon shows how artists drew inspiration from objects of the past.
