Though there are similar institutions, this Museum was the first of its kind in the world. It was founded by a Ministerial Resolution on August 17, 1976. The plenipotentiary minister, Carlos Dellepiane, was the author of the project and its director.
It offers an insight into the history of argentine diplomacy and foreign policy. Exhibits include diplomatic uniforms, foreign and argentine decorations, medals, documents, letters, credential letters, treaties, iconography, weapons, pieces of furniture, etc. The Museum harbors a valuable trove of items that reflect the history of the Argentine Ministry of Foreign Affairs, enrich Argentine diplomatic traditions and contribute towards defining its personality.
Amongst its most noteworthy items are the inkpot that belonged to General Tomás Guido, which he used when peace was signed with the Brazilian Empire; Eduardo Costa's silver and crystal writing case; a ceremonial sword and decorations that belonged to Roberto Levillier, historian and diplomat, and Luis Podestá Costa's decorations.
