Museo Casa de Rogelio Yrurtia

Museo Casa de Rogelio Yrurtia is an art museum in a neo-colonial house in the Belgrano neighborhood that displays the work and personal items of an Argentine sculptor. The building preserves the studio and private rooms filled with bronze sculptures, plaster models, and sketches.

A sculptor and his artist wife donated their house and art collection to the state in 1942, and the museum opened a few years later. The museum's arrangement documents the artistic career and working methods of the creator of major urban monuments.

The house preserves the working spaces where a renowned sculptor created works that shape Buenos Aires' cityscape. You see the studios and living areas that show how artistic life and creation took place in these rooms.

The museum is open on certain weekdays with limited hours and offers extended access on weekends. You should plan ahead and check current opening times, as these can change.

The museum displays not just finished works but also the plaster models and design sketches that show how monumental artworks came together. These workshop materials offer a rare look at the creative process of a major Argentine artist.
