Museo Mitre

This museum in central Buenos Aires occupies the colonial-era house where Bartolomé Mitre, president, historian and founder of a leading newspaper, lived in the nineteenth century. Preserved much as he left it, the residence displays his library, study, furnishings and personal collections, offering an intimate portrait of a formative national figure. The building is one of the few surviving colonial houses in the city centre, arranged around interior patios. Its archive is a valuable resource for the study of Argentine history.
