Carlos Gardel lived in this house at Jean Jaurès 735, in the Abasto, from 1927 until he left Argentina on 7 November 1933. It opened as a museum on 4 March 2003, and its rooms follow his life, records and films, with his voice playing throughout. Open Monday and Wednesday to Friday, 11am–7pm, and at weekends; closed on Tuesdays. Combine it with a look at the old Abasto market, now a shopping centre, a short walk away.
