Museo de la Casa de Gobierno

This museum is settled in the old subterranean area of the Real Hacienda. It presents the history of the presidents and their personal objects, such as canes, carriages, sets of dishes and official pictures. From the museum, the ruins of Patio de Maniobras can be observed.

The displays here are the reminders of the old customs, buried by the landfill during the construction of the port. During the excavations, remainders of ceramics and porcelain were found which in the present day are exhibited in the showcase of the museum.

The collection counts on objects of the presidential investiture, like the canes and the presidential bands of several presidents. Also it counts on vehicles used by different Presidents: the Mylord Cabriolet can be appraised, used by Jose Evaristo Uriburu.

It houses the furniture used like the presidential armchair that stood out during the mandate of Santiago Derqui. The museum counts on personal objects that belonged to the presidents, like a bowler and a cane pertaining to Hipólito Yrigoyen, a Chinese porcelain source that belonged to Bernardino Rivadavia.

Hours : 10a- 6p M- T & Th- F, 3p- 4:30p Sa- Sun.
