This museum occupies a house that was built in1783 and is one of the oldest in the country. Its colonial style remains intact and it was originally the home of Francisco Ramírez. It was purchased by Delio Panizza in 1925. Its nine halls exhibit objects of great historical value. Worthy of mentioning is an image of St. Joseph that Urquiza´s father ordered from Spain. There is a Chinese armchair made of teak that belonged to Delio Panizza. This wood must be left submerged in water for 100 years in order to work it. One of its halls is devoted to silverwork and displays the silver spurs that belonged to Francisco Ramírez which are known as "Weeping Nazarenes". There is also a large assortment of 19th century furniture and a French polyphone dating from last century equipped with a roll with eight melodies, percussion and cymbals that still works.
