Fodor's Review:
The harmonious, French neoclassic mansion that houses the National Museum of Decorative Art is as much a reason to visit as the period furnishings, porcelain, and silver within it. Ornate wooden paneling in the Regency ballroom, the imposing Louis XIV red-and-black marble dining room, and a lofty Renaissance-style great hall are some of the highlights of the only house of its kind open to the public in Buenos Aires. There are excellent English descriptions of each room, and they include gossipy details about the house's original inhabitants, the well-to-do Errazuriz family. The museum also contains some Chinese art. Guided tours include the Zubov collection of miniatures from Imperial Russia and one of the family bedrooms, otherwise off-limits to visitors.
- Cost: 2 pesos, free Tues.
- Open: Tues.-Sun. 2-7; free guided tours in English Sun. at 5:30
