The museum began its activity during the 1910s, in the mansion where Isaac Fernández Blanco lived with his family. It was the first private museum in Argentina, with a heritage formed by the private collection that Fernández Blanco had formed for several decades.

The heritage began to expand with donations from several families of the Buenos Aires aristocracy who wanted to place their family objects of great value in a prestigious place.

Lavalle Square is a green space three blocks from the City of Buenos Aires, Argentina.

It is located in the San Nicolás neighborhood, surrounded by Libertad, Lavalle, Talcahuano and Córdoba Avenue.
In the vicinity of the Lavalle Square are some of the historical, institutional and cultural sites of the City.

Part of this square was located in the so-called hollow of Zamudio, a vacant lot where in the 18th century there was a lagoon. One of the streams that used to cross the city, the Third of the Middle, ran along Liberty Street and turned east on Viamonte; To cross it, a bridge known as Bridge of Sighs had been built.

By 1822 an artillery park was installed, which owned a weapons factory and a powder depot, taking the name of Plaza del Parque.

Discovering art in the dimension of space. Visiting the Planetarium Museum of the City of Buenos Aires "Galileo Galilei".

The Galileo Galilei Planetarium is located at the intersection of Avenida General Sarmiento and Belisario Roldán, within the Tres de Febrero Park, in the Palermo neighborhood, in the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Its dome is 20 m in diameter. On it, 8900 fixed stars, constellations and nebulas can reproduce.
Its first function was carried out in June 1967 and in 2011 it underwent a series of major reforms.
Functions for the blind and the deaf.

The functions for the blind began in June 2001 and are unpublished in Latin America. It is estimated that until 2011, more than 2,500 blind people have enjoyed this experience.

A large section of the Performance Hall has a magnetic ring to amplify the sound and facilitates the hearing (through the use of hearing aids) of the hearing impaired.

Both types of functions are free and free.

Corner bars, bohemian and evocations.

El Federal is the oldest operating bar and restaurant in the City of Buenos Aires.

A tour of the historic corners of San Telmo, with its past of tango and payadores and its current history preserved.

Located in a traditional corner of San Telmo, this bar that opened its doors in 1864 is worthy of being among the “Notable Bars” since, as if it were a time warp, when visiting it one automatically feels at that time. What hits the most when entering is the bar, crowned by a wooden arch with vitraux details and an inactive clock in the middle.

It retains the original tiles in its floors, and is adorned with elements that emphasize, like few, the true Buenos Aires spirit: the fillets, the old tables, the wooden shelf with its collection of bottles, the cash register of yesteryear, and many others signs that transport us to the past.

Not only the place is traditional; The menu matches the modality perfectly: a Fernet, a Gancia or a craft beer; a sandwich, a tenderloin or a snack, these things well "from here", can be enjoyed at reasonable prices while resting or leafing through a book in the small library.

    1. It is true that the Flea Market, a traditional meeting place in San Telmo, is an excellent place to visit @Marisa Belén Repetto.

      The Flea Market opened its doors in 1988 on the corner of Niceto Vega and Dorrego, and operated for 18 consecutive years until December 2005, when it had to move to its current premises, located in Dorrego and Álvarez Thomas, due to security failures. . In 2001 it was reopened in its original location. The structure and stalls were completely renovated, new lights were installed, and better accesses and parking bays were built.

      The Flea Market is a characteristic point of interest in the Colegiales neighborhood, right where the Palermo Hollywood area ends, and has just partially reopened its doors with a strict safety and hygiene protocol and changes in the days of operation.
