In the City of Buenos Aires, I have been able to enjoy visiting some Museums, last Saturday I had the opportunity to visit the Fernandez Blanco House Museum, located at Hipólito Yrigoyen 1420.
En este Museo se presentan obras del arte virreinal hispanoamericano, de los siglos XVI al XVIII.
Además de obras arte argentinas y europeas de los siglos XIX y XX.
Al entrar en sus instalaciones encontramos numerosas salas que antiguamente eran salones o cuartos de una mansión que estaba en pleno Microcentro de la Ciudad a escasos metros del Congreso de la Nación.
In this museum, works of Hispanic-American colonial art are presented, from the 16th to the 18th centuries.
In addition to Argentine and European works of art from the 19th and 20th centuries.
Upon entering its facilities we find numerous rooms that were formerly halls or rooms of a mansion that was in the heart of the City's downtown area, a few meters from the National Congress.
En el living de la Mansión se encuentra el Retrato de Isaac Fernandez Blanco y Suarez, un Pastel sobre carton de 1916, donado por Isaac Fernandez Blanco.
Asi como un retrato de Cristina Castro Ramos Mejias de Peña, un Oleo en tela de 1856-1857, legado de Cecilia Gonzalez Garaño.
In the living room of the Mansion is the Portrait of Isaac Fernandez Blanco y Suarez, a Pastel on cardboard from 1916, donated by Isaac Fernandez Blanco.
As well as a portrait of Cristina Castro Ramos Mejias de Peña, an Oil on canvas from 1856-1857, legacy of Cecilia Gonzalez Garaño

Como dato curioso, me llamo la atención que había abanicos que tenía incrustaciones de piedras preciosas, inclusive oro y plata.
Then we go to the Hall of the Fans where they exhibit more than 50 fans, made of various materials and that were used on various occasions.
As a curious fact, I was struck by the fact that there were fans that were inlaid with precious stones, including gold and silver.
Seguidamente pasamos a la sala de muestra de objetos en plata, bronce y oro, así como otros materiales y piedras preciosas, encontrando una gran variedad desde Espuelas para montar caballo, candelabros, cuchillos, espadas y diversos adornos.
Then we go to the sample room of objects in silver, bronze and gold, as well as other materials and precious stones, finding a great variety from Spurs for horseback riding, candlesticks, knives, swords and various ornaments.

Additionally, in this same room they exhibit various works, mostly in oil.

Una de las salas que mas me gustó fue el Gran Comedor, un espacio lleno de lujo donde se exponen vajillas con oro y plata y juegos de cubiertos de plata, asi como excelentes antigüedades muy valiosas y cuya belleza es sorprendente.
One of the rooms that I liked the most was the Great Dining Room, a space full of luxury where gold and silver tableware and silver cutlery sets are exhibited, as well as excellent, highly valuable antiques whose beauty is surprising.
Another of the spaces that this museum offers us is that of toys, where dolls from the 18th and 19th centuries are exhibited, whose conservation is surprising.
