"Juan Pablo Duffard" Regional Historical Museum
About This Museum
People often wander into our little museum on Belgrano Street looking for a tangible piece of Formosa's soul, and they rarely leave disappointed. It’s the kind of place where you can feel the layers of time in the quiet rooms, from the indigenous pottery that speaks of ancient riverside life to the sepia-toned photographs of early settlers with hope in their eyes. You'll find yourself lingering over personal items from the 20th century that tell stories of daily triumphs and struggles right here in our province. Stepping back out onto the bustling street, you carry with you a quieter, more intimate understanding of this corner of Argentina.
Collection Highlights
Look for the beautifully crafted Chaco-region ceramics and the poignant portraits of frontier families who shaped Formosa. The exhibits on the local criollo culture and the development of the port are particularly evocative.
Visitor Information
It's tucked away at Belgrano 836, easy to miss if you're not looking for it, but well worth seeking out. Just pop in during their open hours; it feels more like a quiet conversation with the past than a formal museum visit.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a traditional building that reflects the city's architectural character, its unassuming exterior gives way to simple, high-ceilinged rooms that let the artifacts take center stage.
