| Sumario: | The article reconstructs the history of a private art collection gathered by Firma Mayor and Odilo Estévez Yáñez, a married couple from the dominant social group that laid the foundations for the construction of a bourgeois order in the city of Rosario at the beginning of the 20th century. This reconstruction is undertaken from an approach that combines the contributions of social history, cultural history and museological studies on heritage. The essay also studies the central role that this collection has played, on the one hand, in the creation of one of the major museums in Rosario today, Museo Municipal de Arte Decorativo “Firma y Odilo Estévez”; and, on the other hand, in the configuration of these collectors’ cultural identity and public memory, perpetuated as prominent people of the local past in the institutional and collective consciousness. |
