Museo Histórico Nacional, National history museum in Ciudad Vieja, Montevideo, Uruguay.
The Museo Histórico Nacional occupies several historic buildings in Montevideo, displaying collections of documents, photographs, furniture, and art pieces from different periods.
The museum originated in 1838 alongside the National Library, initially collecting minerals and botanical specimens before evolving into a historical institution in 1871.
The exhibitions present Uruguay's journey to independence through artifacts, including the first Constitution of the Republic and works by artists Juan Manuel Blanes.
The museum welcomes visitors from Wednesday to Sunday between 12:00 and 18:00, offering free admission to local residents through its multiple locations.
The Casa de Fructuoso Rivera, one of the museum's main buildings, belonged to Uruguay's First Constitutional President who acquired the property in 1834.
