Abstract: The "Museo Isaac Fernandez Blanco," also known as Palacio Noel or Palacio Blanco is an early 20th century (1922) building originally owned by the Noel brothers (Carlos and Martin). The museum comprises an extraordinary collection of Hispanic art dating back to the 18th century, religious objects, silverware, and furniture. Located the heart of the city in the Retiro neighborhood, the museum is built around a garden. The book "goes through it as an exciting experience that is renewed in each visit. The frame container of the museum story in the Noel Palace is unique in Buenos Aires for its Neocolonial architecture. An access altarpiece, Lima balconies with Mozarabic deja vu, a rose of the winds at the feet of the visitor, a hidden Andalusian Patio and a garden of delights, are some of the secrets that the Palacio Blanco keeps" (HKB) -Taken from Verso Cover.
