The house in which Dr. Bernardo Houssay lived for the last 45 years of his life harbours diplomas, medals and togas granted to him by the most renowned universities and institutions in the world.
It is essentially a home operating as a museum, since the bookcases and office used by the first Argentine and Latin American Nobel Prize winner have been kept intact.
The rest of the house has been modified to make place for a conference room with a seating capacity for 50 people, where academic acts are held, and a room to attend to the needs of researchers who consult its valuable archives containing 55,000 documents. The Museum belongs to the Foundation for Education, Science and Culture, and was reinaugurated on February 28, 1992, sponsored by CILFA (Industrial Center of argentine Pharmaceutical Companies). These two institutions make possible the scientific and cultural activities that are carried out in this Museum.
