Art, Remembrance and History

The Museo de Bellas Artes (MUBATA) houses the Vogelius Collection. It was donated to the city government and the Tres Arroyos community. The collection is therefore explicitly associated with the city and its community.

The Sitio de la Memoria de los Pueblos Originarios is located in the heart of Tres Arroyos and is a place for gathering and reflection. It honors the ancestral presence of Indigenous communities who inhabited these lands and invites visitors to pause, listen and learn.

Another historic connection dates back to the 19th century: on December 16, 1894, the Sociedad Filantrópica Francesa de Tres Arroyos was founded as an independent society. Its primary aim was to unite the French settlers who had come to this region.

The Ruinas del Molino Mayolas lie in the area surrounding Tres Arroyos and are designated as a municipal historic site. There, Spaniard Félix Mayolas opened the area’s first grain mill in early 1890.
