Ernesto "Che" Guevara museum, Childhood residence museum in Alta Gracia, Argentina.
The Museo Casa del Che Guevara occupies the Guevara family's former home at Avellaneda 501 in the Carlos Pellegrini neighbourhood of Alta Gracia. The house-museum has ten rooms, a patio and a garage, and displays objects Ernesto Guevara used at different stages of his life, along with a replica of his uniform and many photographs.
The family moved to Alta Gracia in 1932 for young Ernesto's health and lived in the house from 1935 to 1937 and again from 1939 to 1943. These years shaped his youth and path toward wider involvement.
The house shows how the family lived here and how young Ernesto experienced his surroundings. The rooms give visitors a sense of his everyday life and early interests during this period.
The museum is easy to reach and located in central Alta Gracia. Visitors should allow enough time to explore the ten rooms and collections at their own pace.
The museum displays the original motorised bicycle Guevara rode on his first journey across Latin America; a motorcycle of the same model as the one used on his second trip is also shown. A replica of his uniform and numerous photographs complete the collection.
