Casa Nacional del Bicentenario, Cultural center in Recoleta, Buenos Aires, Argentina
Casa Nacional del Bicentenario is a cultural center housed in a baroque-style building spanning around 3,500 square meters across multiple floors on Riobamba Street. The facility contains exhibition galleries, a historical library, video installations, and digital archives that document Argentine history and culture.
The building was completed in 1913 as a residential structure and served this purpose for decades. In 2010, it underwent extensive renovations and was transformed into a public cultural center dedicated to Argentine history.
The place was named to honor Argentine history and now functions as a gathering space where visitors can explore contemporary and historical works together. The rooms are arranged so that guests can actively participate in discussions and workshops that engage with Argentine traditions and current themes.
Entry to exhibitions and programs is free, and the building is open throughout the week. Visitors should check what workshops or events are happening on their visit day, as offerings change regularly.
The building houses production studios for an educational television channel that broadcasts nationwide. These studios actively create teaching and learning content for Argentine public television.
