 "Pte. D.F. Sarmiento - Dr. Benjamin A. Gould" Astronomical Museum was created by Resolution 9, year 2003, by the Director of the Observatory and Resolution 1046/03, by the Rector of the University. The Museum exhibits as a central piece the main building itself, which hosts the Institution and that has been declared as a National Monument in 1995. It also exhibits different expositions related to its history, activity, and influence. These expositions involve materials that are closely related with the scientific and symbolic development of Argentina. The National Observatory, today put in value by the Museum, has been a beacon for this development, especially during the end of XIXth century and the beginnings of the XXth. The multifacetic set of related objects wich the Museum conserves can be consulted under COLLECTIONS
