Museo Histórico de Corrientes

Along the Río Paraná


This museum is set around an attractive patio and exhibits weapons, antique furniture, coins and items dealing with religious and civil history. It’s a little bit higgledy-piggledy, but staff are proud of the exhibition and keen to chat. The room on the War of the Triple Alliance is the most interesting.
