This one is an extravagant merchant’s residence built in 1830, filled with opulent Montevideo's 19th century furniture, clothing and personal effects (ladies fans, perfume bottles, travel vanity, etc.) of the city’s old elite. It gives the visitor a good view of how the well to do lived in Montevideo.

Last Friday night, was the "Museos en la Noche" night, where lots of Museums were open until midnight, also there were lots of performances in the streets.

Asado

This is the typical BBQ in Uruguay, lots of very good meat, usually goes with salads and "medio y medio" (half white wine and half Champagne) It is delicious!
