The Cornelio de Saavedra History Museum of Buenos Aires has occupied since 1941 an old white farmhouse with arcades that belonged to Luis María Saavedra, nephew of Cornelio de Saavedra, president of the country's first governing junta in 1810, set in the green Parque General Paz in the northwest of the city. The museum opened on 6 October 1921 with a collection the collector Serviliano Zemborain left to the city, and moved between several homes before settling here. It shows daily life in nineteenth-century Buenos Aires: rooms with their original furniture, from piano and harp to sofas, silverware, hand fans, clocks and household objects, and paintings and portraits of the period. Around the house is a broad park with old trees, good for a walk after the visit. It closes on Tuesdays, with free entry on Wednesdays.
