Detail InformationEdit

The National Museum of Decorative Arts is an art museum in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The museum has its origins in a marriage in 1897 between two prominent members of turn-of-the-century Argentine high society: Matías Errazúriz, the son of Chilean emigrés, and Josefina de Alvear, the granddaughter of Independence-era leader Carlos María de Alvear. The couple commissioned French architect René Sergent in 1911 to design a mansion for Errazúriz’s future retirement from the diplomatic corps, in which he had been Ambassador to France for a number of years.
The ornate Neoclassical structure inspired the Bosch family to commission a similar palace nearby (today the United States Ambassador’s residence). Completed in 1916, the couple devoted the following two years to decorating the palace, purchasing a large volume of antiques and other objets d’art. When Mrs. Errazúriz died in 1935, however, the widower bequeathed the mansion to the Argentine government, on his son’s and daughter’s advice. The National Museum of Decorative Arts was established in 1937.
