Juan B. Ambrosetti Ethnographic Museum

This ethnographic museum, created in 1904 by the University of Buenos Aires' faculty of philosophy and letters, is located in a 19th century building just two blocks from Plaza de Mayo.

Visitors can find archaeological, ethnographic and anthropological collections, the biggest attractions perhaps being the biological anthropology collection, which contains around 10,000 items of bone and come mummified bodies. Other highlights include archaeological finds, the majority from Patagonia and Northeastern Argentina, and Andean Pre-columbian ceramics and textiles.

The ethnographic collections include objects from indigenous societies in North America, African carvings, and a significant collection of pieces from Oceania. As well as the exhibitions, the museum hosts conferences and guided tours.
