It comprises six exhibition halls, a quincho (thatched roof construction) and a pulpería. Its halls harbor the furniture that belonged to the family of the founder of the town Miguel Malarín as well as a collection of fans, porcelain mates (gourds) and lamps of old-fashioned carriages. There is also a hall devoted to sacred art with 19th century images carved in wood. The museum also preserves a large assortment of war material from the battle of Arroyo Grande when Oribe at the head of the Ejército Grande (Great Army) confronted Ribera. It also has a replica of magarinhos' pulpería, a forced stop on the route to the Jesuitical missions. On display in another of its halls is the bed that belonged to López Jordán. San
