The Transport Museum Carlos Hillner and Decoud, located in the town of Quilmes, is primarily dedicated to the exhibition of old carriages. In addition to this, the museum also showcases other items such as objects used in horse riding and old motorcycles. This provides a unique opportunity for visitors to explore the history of transportation and gain insights into the evolution of these vehicles over time.
The Collection at the Transport Museum Carlos Hillner and Decoud
The collection at the Transport Museum Carlos Hillner and Decoud is made up of carriages that Hillner managed to gather from various sources. These carriages were acquired at auctions and from private collections in England, France, and Argentina. All the items in the collection are in a perfect state of conservation, thanks to the efforts of Hillner's descendants, especially his great-nephew Marcelo E. Decoud. This collection provides a unique opportunity for visitors to see a wide range of carriages from different periods and regions.
Future Developments at the Museum
In mid-December 2022, the construction of a Water Park in the green space of the Transport Museum Carlos Hillner and Decoud was publicly announced. This project was promoted by the mayor of the Municipality of Quilmes, Mayra Mendoza, through a decree. This development indicates the ongoing efforts to enhance the visitor experience at the museum and provide additional attractions for tourists.
