Since 1937, this stunning neoclassical mansion, formerly the Palacio Errázuriz, has operated as a museum devoted to the decorative arts. (It was declared an official historic landmark in 1998.) Built in 1911 by French architect René Sergent for a Buenos Aires power couple (Josefina de Alvear and Matías Errázuriz Ortúzar), the house continues to wow visitors by providing a peek into just how good Argentina's filthy rich once had it. But there are also some 4,000 amazing objets to go along with the eye-popping architecture, including an arresting El Greco in the 54-by-64-foot Gran Hall. Check out the spiffy café, formerly the palace's gatehouse.
