Casa Nacional del Bicentenario

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 center opened on March 16, 2010, under the name Casa Nacional del Bicentenario, marking 200 years of the May Revolution of 1810. Its first exhibition, Mujeres. 1810–2010, examined women's role in Argentine history across three floors. Since 2018 the second floor has housed the Museo Nacional del Grabado, founded in 1960 by Oscar Pécora and Irene Perrando.

The entrance is at 985 Riobamba Street, one block west of Callao Avenue. Inside, a hall with a specialised bookshop leads to a passage where the video installation Muchas voces, una historia. Argentina 1810-2010 is projected permanently; this passage opens onto a small bar and an internal patio with an open-air stage. The National Engraving Museum occupies the second floor.

Since 2018 the second floor has housed the Museo Nacional del Grabado, founded in 1960 by Oscar Pécora and Irene Perrando and only officially recognized as a national museum on 7 December 2018, after years in temporary venues.
