Museo de la Ciudad

Fodor's Review:

To the south of La Manzana de las Luces, on Alsina, are the Basílica y Convento de San Francisco, the smaller San Roque Chapel, and the City Museum. It houses temporary exhibits both whimsical and probing on aspects of domestic and public life in Buenos Aires in times past. The Farmacia La Estrella (Star Pharmacy) is a quaint survivor from the 19th century.
