This article analyzes the installation of Uriburu's Hall at the Museo Histórico y Colonial de la Provincia de Buenos Aires, institution established in Luján in 1923. This hall was opened to the public in September 1932, to celebrate the name and memory of the hero of the Revolution of 1930. Far from proposing a direct relationship between politics and museum displays, this article wants to display the several elements that colluded in the creation of this hall.

Keywords : Historic and Colonial Museum; 1930s; Uriburu's Hall; Luján.
