Museo Mitre

History

The Mitre Museum in Buenos Aires, Argentina, is a museum dedicated to Argentine history, as well as to the legacy of former President of Argentina, Bartolomé Mitre. The museum building is a Spanish colonial house built in 1785. It first appears in Argentine history as the refuge of the last Viceroy of Río de la Plata, Baltasar Hidalgo de Cisneros, following the May Revolution of 1810. In 1860 the house was rented by General Bartolomé Mitre in 1860, and was his residence during his tenure as the 6th President of Argentina between 1862 and 1868.
