Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

There are some interesting exhibits in this museum which supposedly provides a timeline of the history of Buenos Aires, but it's little more than a collection of objects belonging to various leaders. There is no information in English, and no context given to any of the objects, (even in Spanish) so that they mean very little. The highlight is the mural by the Mexican painter but this is easy to miss. It's in a 'cube' at the far end of the gallery. A tape prevents entrance to the mural if the guide is busy with visitors. Once we could get down there, we were given an excellent talk about it, in English. (10 minutes or so). There are also some interesting old photos and a video reconstruction of the history of the site. This museum could be so much more. It's free. Only open at weekends. There is security at the entrance. You cannot wear a hat!

The museum houses an awesome display of an array of exhibits of remnants of the old walls of Fort of Buenos Aires, paintings including one of President Perón and First Lady Eva Perón, swords and other weapons, books, furniture, uniforms, tableware, dolls, canes, and many other historical artefacts, and also of what used to be the Customs House and formerly the largest building in Argentina. There are a few video presentations spread around the museum, each giving different information. One shows the state of the walls in 1996 before they were covered by a glass ceiling in the 2010-2011 period, the construction taking place in 2010, and then the enclosed beautiful museum in 2011.
It is amazing to see how the brickwork lasted through the centuries and the air ducts in the walls. There are also three glass floors, through which one can view what the ground flooring looked like.
Three horse-drawn coaches are on display. They were once those of former Presidents of Argentina. They are in immaculate condition.
The president’s 1955 Cadillac convertible is on display. In 1960, it was used Cardinal Marcello Mimmi, acting as representative of Pope Juan XXIII. The Cadillac was ordered in 1955, for the then President Juan Domingo Perón. However, it arrived he was overthrown in September 1955. Thus, Perón was never able to drive it, but it became the car of a few of his successors.
This is well worth a 90 to 120-minute visit, especially if carefully look at all the displayed material, watch all the videos presentations, and speak with the attendants who are very eager to spend 10 minutes or more explaining whatever you wish to gain more information on.
Admission is free.
Hours of operation are:
April to November: daily from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm
December to March: daily from 11:00 am to 7:00 pm

This place has really cool media. The entire history is put in a great way, when it comes to visualization. I think it is great that they made this ruins accessible - before, you could only see them from the sidewalk.
But sadly, the displayed information sounds to me like political propaganda. The current governing fraction is shown as the only ones who did a good job, pointing out all the "good things" the've done. All the other governments are displayed by their mistakes.
One clear example of their propaganda strategy in this museum, are the cars displayed. They show the so called "Justicialista" car as the only argentinean car - this car was built during the Peron era and the the name of his political party. Although this was the first car produced in Argentina, it was far from being a success. Instead, they left out the better known and much loved by the Argentineans "IKA Torino". Although the Torino was based on the US-made Rambler Rouge (with clear design and technical modifications and improvements), it reflected the "Argentinean car spirit" better than the Justicialitsta car displayed (this way, btw, copied from a German DKW, the body design was done in Argentina - by some untalented people, if I may add). The Torino also had a historical racing achievement in Germany (the Justicialista wasn't even used for racing at all). The car isn't displayed, because it was built during a government not in line with the current politic. I do believe that the Justicialista earns a place in Argentina's Industrial History, but so does the Torino, being a successful car, with a brand name (not the name of a political party). This is a clear example of how selective this museum was done.
The whole museum (excluding the information from the independence time) is very much aligned with the Kirchner goverment and the Peron era. Facts are poor. And at a museum, I expect facts.

We were disappointed in Museo Casa rosada. Firstly it is all in Spanish so not the best for English visitors. Secondly it seems to be more a history of the presidents of Argentina as opposed to really getting to grips with the history of the country. It is small with limited (uninteresting artifacts). The only upside is that it is free at least.

We three British middle aged guys were in BA for over a week (Argentina for a month) and looked for cheap or free history and/or culture as we were on a budget. This popped up for a Saturday excursion in the oppressive heat of the day.
We had visited the Casa Rosada are many years ago but never he original museum at the side or the building itself (you need to book online for access nowadays like the Reichstag in Berlin).
The new museum is built into and over what seems to have been the original waterfront of a once spectacular semicircular building that projected into the sea for the sheer delight of it (as to show off Argentina's opulence to arriving and passing ships).
The history of the building is explained by the sea arches side whereas the cellars of the original building house a chronological history of the Argentinian State and its presidents and exceptionally Evita of course.
The displays in each alcove are informative and entertaining but all in Spanish and nowhere to sit comfortably to watch to take it all in. There is a lot.
At the end is a container with a significant artists' mural inside the 'cell' of people imprisoned, including women and children. It is an immersive experience that you have to wait for a group to assemble, put plastic bags on you shoes and lie down inside to soak it up. Enjoy!
There are fascinating and signify artefacts on display and there is a bias towards the end. Lots of memorabilia in display of a particular president.
Overall an important museum to gain insight into one of the most fiscally rich and 'cultured places in the southern hemisphere of its time which has undergone a lot of transformation politically, socially and economically then, as it is now.

My husband and I spent some time in this free museum, behind the Casa Rosada, on a recent Saturday. It was a bit hard to find the museum entrance, because of massive construction going on nearby, but when we did, we entered and went through a brief security/x-ray screening before descending to the exhibition hall. The museum is free to enter.
The exhibits primarily focus on the history of the Argentine presidency, and they are offered only in Spanish. Since my Spanish is iffy and my husband's nonexistent, we were not able to appreciate most of the information presented.
HOWEVER, we were happy to visit for a couple of reasons:
There are free bathrooms available.
We enjoyed seeing the uniformed guards (one might say "costumed") as they made their rounds through the hall.
And the history of the space itself is fascinating: The museum is built on the site of a stupendous Customs House from the mid-19th century (as well as a fortress from even earlier), and there are remains of the supports and walls of the Customs House remaining inside the museum, as well as some images of what the building looked like back in the day. It's a neat glimpse into the historical glory days of the Port of Buenos Aires.

São duas experiências distintas. A visita à Casa Rosada requer agendamento com antecedência pela internet, nem sempre se consegue em cima da hora.
Além disso, há o Museu da Casa Rosada, com uma coleção relativamente pequena. A principal atração é um mural do artista mexicano Siqueiros.
É mais fácil visitar o Congresso Argentino, belíssimo.
