  Não é um museu. É uma pequena sala com um sujeito indo de uma parede a outra contando a historia do tango "la cumparsita". Não vale o preço, não vale nem o tempo la.

  This is actually the museum of La Cumparista. Before Palacio Salvo was built, the original site was a local music bar. The author of La Cumparista was Gerardo Matos Rodríguez, who played his music here in this bar for the first time. La Cumparista has been the symbol of tango since then. Back then there was no woman allowed in the bar. The name originates from Spanish word comparisa. -sta means small. It should be Comparista. But he wrote it as Cumparista. This is probably due to the Cocoliche language, a mixture of Spanish and Italian. Anyway this is a good museum to visit.
