Sarmiento History Museum and its collection

Sarmiento History Museum
Source

The Sarmiento History Museum, situated in the Belgrano neighborhood of Buenos Aires, is a tribute to the life and times of Domingo Faustino Sarmiento. Sarmiento was not only a renowned writer but also served as the President of Argentina from 1868 to 1874. The museum offers a deep dive into his life, his works, and his contributions to the country.

Literary Works and Historical Events

In addition to Sarmiento's life and works, the museum also showcases some literary works related to Nicolás Avellaneda, another statesman of the period, and the Buenos Aires revolution during his term. In 1880, Buenos Aires underwent a significant transformation into a federal region, a historical event that is well-documented in the museum.

Collection and Archives at the Museum

The museum houses a collection of objects, medals, artworks, and documents that belonged to the former president Sarmiento, donated by his family in 1913. Additionally, the “Ismael Bucich Escobar” Library and Sarmiento's private archive, established in 1946, are also part of the museum. The archive consists of more than 15,000 volumes, providing a comprehensive insight into Sarmiento's life and work.
