This upstairs museum was being remodeled at the time of research, but in the future you should expect exhibitions on porteño life and history. Downstairs is a large annex hall showcasing changing exhibits, while next door is an atmospheric restaurant with the Argentine art of fileteado (artistic drawing) on its walls.
Nearby is the Farmacia de la Estrella (1835), a functioning homeopathic pharmacy with gorgeous woodwork and elaborate late-19th-century ceiling murals depicting health-oriented themes.
