"Acnin" Archaeological Museum

Stands facing the park in front of the Church of San José de las Campanas
Open Mondays through Fridays from 8:30 to 12a. m.

This museum was built around the collection assembled by the Juárez family. There are several pieces on display belonging to the Aguada culture that had a complex religious ideology based on the worship of a sun god and a feline (the jaguar). Aguada was a typically Andean society that developed irrigation techniques and an outstanding technology for working stone, metal and especially ceramic.
