This museum belongs to Rodolfo Allou whose works it preserves. Through sculptures carved in wood, this artist has portrayed the jungle of Misiones and its inhabitants. Allou was a dentist of paraguayan oriigin and a grandnephew of Jules Verne. With the aid of chisels and penknives he carved, polished smoothened the wood giving it different shapes. Worthy of mentioning is his "Future Mother" for which he used a pregnant Guaraní Indian as a model. In addition to his representations of the jungle, he also has works on popular artists such as Jorge Cafrune and Horacio Quiroga.
