Museo de la Constitución Nacional, History museum in Santa Fe, Argentina
The Museo de la Constitución Nacional is a museum in Santa Fe's Parque de la Constitución, opened on 10 December 2018 by mayor José Corral. Its 2,098.75 m² building holds eight exhibition rooms, including Señales, La grieta and Retratos de una nación, plus a 296-seat auditorium. Displays include objects from the drafting of the 1853 constitution, book replicas, a genuine copy of the 1994 reform, city models and portraits.
Santa Fe hosted the 1853 Constituent Congress where Argentina drafted its first national constitution. This event established the legal framework that has guided the nation ever since.
The eight rooms carry names such as "Señales", "La grieta", "Bases, voces y propuestas" and "En una noche de abril", which frame the constitution through images and voices rather than legal text alone. The room "La ciudad como homenaje" presents Santa Fe itself as a tribute to the 1853 document. The museum opened on 10 December 2018 under mayor José Corral.
Guided tours run Thursday to Sunday in two shifts, morning and afternoon, with entry on a first-come, first-served basis and limited places, so arrive early. Admission is free. The building covers 2,098.75 m² and holds a 296-seat auditorium plus 525.10 m² of semi-covered space.
The museum holds a genuine copy of the 1994 constitutional reform alongside replicas of books used when the 1853 constitution was drafted. It also displays city models and portraits in painted and digitised form, spread across eight exhibition rooms.
