The Museum of Foreign Debt (Spanish: Museo de la Deuda Externa) is a public museum located in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The museum's expositions and collection aim to depict the impact that foreign debt has had over Argentine economic development throughout its history.
Founded in 2005, the museum opened its doors following the 1998–2002 Argentine great depression and the nationwide 2001 Argentine riots. During those years, Argentina prompted the largest foreign debt default in history – approximately 100ドル billion USD.[citation needed ]
The museum is sited within the University of Buenos Aires Faculty of Economic Sciences's main builing.
Museum's items follow the Argentine national debt's history, recording its development and growth since the first attempt of independence in 1810 to the modern day.
