Sumario:A hundred and seventy years after the swearing in of the Argentine Constitution, sanctioned in Santa Fe on the first of May 1853, this present work suggests a micro historical approach of a case study: the Art Exhibition called “The Constitution Art Room” carried out in 1943 on account of the XX° Annual National Art Show of the Rosa Galisteo de Rodriguez Museum. This article considers analysing the relationship between this event and the political context of Santa Fe in the period 1930-1940; for which this work examines all the commemorative events as well specially focussing on the importance of the acquisition of Alice's paintings. His artworks allow us to realize how the past helps to define property policies through the choice of different elements, objects and artworks that transform places like museums and institutions of cultural production and social and political legitimation.
