Tucked into a historic pharmacy building near the Plaza de Mayo, this quirky municipal museum documents everyday Buenos Aires life through objects, photographs, maps, and ephemera spanning several centuries. Rotating thematic exhibitions are often surprisingly clever and locally resonant. It's the kind of place that rewards the curious and unhurried visitor who wants to understand the city beyond its monuments. Very few tourists find it, which is precisely the point.
