THE STRANGEST MUSEUMS IN BUENOS AIRES. PART 2 (By Hostel Buenos Aires)

We told you before about some of the strangest museums in our city (See Part 1). In this second and last issue, Hostel Colonial introduces you to which are and where you can find some other strange museums of Buenos Aires.

National Museum of History of Clothing: on 832 Chile Street, Mondays to Fridays from 10AM to 7PM, you can visit this museum which exhibits civilian clothing, suits and accessories from the XIX and XX Centuries. The place also has one of the few specialized libraries on the subject, plus a photo and video library.

Oculorum Museum: on 7047 Rivadavia Avenue, 3rd floor, department E, there’s a museum completely dedicated to gather the elements related to ophthalmology, eyes, vision, glasses, books and ophthalmic electro medicine. You can find old glasses (nearly 400 pairs of all times), binoculars and spyglasses, among others.

Wax Historic Museum: in La Boca neighborhood, 1261 Del Valle Iberlucea Street locates the city wax museum. Its location is no casualty: inside, you can find a whole sculpture of the neighborhood itself, with its working class immigrant roots. There are statues of the Porteños in the beginnings of the XX Century. No famous people, just ordinary one.

Telecommunications Museum: on Costanera Sur, 851 De Los Inmigrantes Avenue, this museum holds many historic and didactic valuable objects related to the primitive communications, telegraphy, telephony, radio, TV and the Internet. Another historic and architectonic relevant attractive is its building, an unique construction in Buenos Aires.
