Immigration Museum

The Immigration Museum occupies a former reception center building with rooms preserved from the early 20th century. The exhibits display documents, photographs, and belongings that tell the stories of those who arrived.

The building served from 1911 to 1953 as an arrival point for over one million immigrants. During this period, large-scale immigration fundamentally shaped Argentina's appearance and makeup.

The museum displays personal objects and records from arrivals from Europe, Asia, and Africa. You can see how these newcomers shaped Argentine society and what traces they left behind.

The museum is located by the waterfront with good public transportation access. You should allow plenty of time to explore the exhibits thoroughly and read through the personal stories on display.

The preserved dining hall could feed 1,000 people at once, showing the enormous capacity of this facility. Walking through this space gives you a direct sense of the scale of the immigration wave at that time.
