Museo Julio Sosa

Museo Julio Sosa, Tango museum in Las Piedras, Uruguay.

Museo Julio Sosa occupies rooms at the Hipódromo de Las Piedras, at the corner of Av. Artigas and Manuel Oribe. Its permanent displays cover tango as a cultural element, the life and work of Julio Sosa, documents and a photographic archive bearing his image. A hall shows Roberto Sabán's "Tango y Pincel", oil paintings and collages on tango themes.

The museum is dedicated to Julio Sosa, the tango singer known as the "Varón del Tango", who was born in Las Piedras and built his career in Buenos Aires. It is managed by the Honorary Commission of Departmental Heritage of the Canelones municipal government. In September 2022 the museum hosted a meeting of the Wikipedia Uruguay user group.

The museum displays a permanent Roberto Sabán exhibition, "Tango y Pincel", with oil paintings and collages on tango themes, featuring Carlos Gardel and above all Julio Sosa. Quotes by Sosa, such as "Quiero un tango lento, ronco, orillero, irónico", are painted on the walls. Sosa, born in Las Piedras, was nicknamed the "Varón del Tango".

The museum sits at the corner of Av. Artigas and Manuel Oribe, inside the Hipódromo de las Piedras grounds in Las Piedras, Canelones. It is managed by the Comisión Honoraria del Patrimonio Departamental of the Canelones municipal government, reachable at 598 43320365. Admission is free.

The museum shares its location with a horse racing track, making it an unexpected setting for a cultural institution. This unusual pairing brings together two different aspects of local history and leisure.
