Museo Gauchesco Ricardo Güiraldes

TIME : 2016/2/19 14:15:17

Recently reinaugurated after major restorations – the building, like many others in town, sustained serious flood damage in 2009 – this sprawling museum in Parque Criollo dates to 1938 and includes an old flour mill, a re-created pulpería (tavern), a colonial-style chapel and a 20th-century reproduction of an 18th-century casco (ranch house). Displays include horse gear, gauchesco artwork and rooms dedicated to Ricardo Güiraldes, author of the novel Don Segundo Sombra .
