Museo De La Emigracion Gallega En La Argentina — Attraction in Autonomous City of Buenos Aires

Inherits the enormous bibliographic and archival collection of this institution of the collectivity, which was born in 1921 with a progressive and republican spirit and traveled throughout the century promoting the culture of its associates and the entire Galician community.
