The Larreta residence was built in 1886 as a summer cottage in the Italian Renaissance style. It was surrounded by a garden with fruit and ornamental trees, beds with aromatic plants, and an orchard.
His subsequent owner, writer Enrique Larreta, after serving in the foreign service in France, brought an important art collection of Spanish works of art to decorate his new home. He also transformed the estate into the Spanish Renaissance style, with a significant collection of paintings, altarpieces, wood carvings, and furniture from the XIV to the XX century. In April 1962, at the death of the writer, his sons sold the house to the city of Buenos Aires and donated his collection of works of art and furniture
The collection that gave birth to the museum consisted primarily of wooden sculptures and paintings from the Renaissance ans Baroque periods, as well as a noteworthy set of furniture, arms, and decorative arts that embellished the different rooms in the house. The writer's collection was increased by acquisitions, donations and transfers of more than 30 works from the Museum ofHispanic-American Art Isaac Frenandez Blanco, that blended perfectly with the original collection.

There are several sculptures spread around the garden, one of which is a terracotta reproduction of Donatello's David.

On Rainy days the Museum and Garden may be Closed.

To celebrate the Bicentennial of the First National Governing Board, the Navies of Chile and Argentina have joined in the organization of “Sails of South America 2010”.

The Bicentennial Regatta unites several of the most magnificent sailing ships, among them frigates, schooners and brigs, both civil and military, from various countries of America and Europe. This unique challenge gathers thousands of navigators in the most important ports of the region, sailing emblematic places for the mariners of all times, like the circumnavigation of the mythical “Cape Horn”.

The vessels, that departed from Rio de Janeiro on February 7th, will be arriving in Buenos Aires on March 4th, 2010, and will stay in Puerto Madero until March 9th, when they will be setting sail for their next destination, Isla de los Estados.

The ships will be open for visits to the public, from Friday 5th to Monday 8th, 11 am to 8 pm.

On March 6th, 10 am, the crews and communities that participate in the Regatta, along with musical bands and school children, will take part on a parade, that will start at 10 am at Av 9 de Julio and Santa Fe towards Plaza San Martin. Together with this parade, the Government of the City of Buenos Aires will present in Puerto Madero the program called "Puerto Luz", giving start to the Bicentenary celebrations.
