Inside the estate you can enjoy the Regional Museum “My Mountains”, which includes the Antonio Alice art gallery that contains important works by nationally renowned painters, and the Natural Sciences, Mineralogy and Archeology Room. This exhibits minerals, animals, plants and aboriginal pieces.

The second room is an iconographic room where various portraits and photographs of González are presented, along with various pieces written by the founder and first rector of the UNLP.
