MUSEUMS in Uruguay

These are those sites where the memory, the culture and the creativity of a country find their space. The museums, the historical houses and the art sites preserve the cultural heritage of their society, a living treasure made up not only by assets and evidences from the past, but also by the interpretations made by the new generations.

Tightly related to the attractions in each destination, national and regional museums specialized in fine arts, anthropology, natural science, religion, history and sites, amongst other fields may be discovered all throughout Uruguay. Great deals of them express the effort of urban or rural communities to rescue and communicate their own tradition within the Uruguayan identity.

Here is an invitation to tour around the most outstanding museological institutions, historical and artistic spaces in Uruguay, faithful representatives of their cultural richness.
