Description
The Museo Histórico Casa de Artigas is a museum in Sauce housed in a historic building with several areas for visitors to explore. Its spaces include permanent exhibitions, a public library with a reading room, and a maintained garden featuring native plants.
History
The land where this museum stands was granted in 1746 by the Colonial Council of Montevideo to Felipe Pascual, who was José Artigas's grandfather. This family connection shaped the location's history and eventually led to the creation of the museum.
