Museo de la Pasión Boquense

Location:
Argentina

museum, Buenos Aires

By Jeremy Helligar

After tango, wine and steak, fútbol—or as they say in the U.S., soccer—is the fourth great Argentine pastime. And how deep is their love of the game and of Boca Juniors, the national fútbol organization that drives their passion? So deep that there's an entire museum in Boca Junior's La Boca stadium dedicated to the team. Non-devotees may shrug, but nowhere else in town will you find framed portraits of every Boca player since 1931, an hourly film presentation about the team, historical trinkets (from championship trophies to jerseys to ticket stubs), computers filled with every Boca fact you'll ever want to know, and, of course, tributes to the greatest Boca of them all, Diego Maradonna.

Brandsen 805; 4362-1100;

Daily, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

(Prices range from US$3.50 to $10, and tours are offered);
