Museo de la Industria

Can you picture the past in bustling Cordoba? The Museo de la Industria sits right before you, a giant monument to the city’s industrial spirit. Opened in 1996, stepping inside is like turning back the clock to the 1890s when the building was a bustling railway warehouse. It’s a stunning example of English railway architecture, with massive brick walls, soaring wooden ceilings, and cast iron pillars – a testament to those who built and ran Argentina’s railway network. This place is more than just a museum – it’s a celebration of the people who built Cordoba’s industrial success. You’ll find an array of fascinating items, including a variety of motors, planes, and automobiles, showcasing the city’s role in this important field. The highlight is the prototype GTV, a powerful racing car, a testament to Cordoba’s dominance in the world of motorsports. But perhaps the most unique exhibit in the Museo de la Industria is the “Casa Giratoria” – the Rotating House. This unusual building was relocated from the neighborhood of Nueva Cordoba to preserve its unique history, making the Museo de la Industria an even more fascinating time capsule of Argentina’s industrial past. You’ll leave here inspired by the ingenuity, craft, and passion of the city’s early industrial pioneers.
