The Hugo Irureta Foundation began its work in 1987, and the museum was created simultaneously. The original collection comprised the works of Irureta himself and those of other regional national and foreign plastic artists. Amongst other works, there are paintings by Líbero Badii, Carlos Cañas, Ricardo Carpani, Luis Centurión, Enrique de Larrañaga, Luis Felipe Noé, Leopoldo Presas and Leo Vinci. The aim of this museum is to promote art and culture in the northwest of our country.
