Tel. No. 0876-81210
Open Mondays through Fridays 2 to 7p.m.

The school was founded in 1910, but the museum was only established in 1970. Its creation was made possible thanks to donations made by local families and to material recovered from the demolition of old buildings. The aims pursued by the museum are highly didactic. It harbors works by local and other Argentine artists.

Rosario de la Frontera
The town of Rosario de la Frontera lies 176km. away from the city of Salta down national route No. 34. This city is of great economic importance on account of its agricultural production and touristic lure because of its proximity to some thermal waters. Only 7km. away stand the oldest thermal baths in South America established in 1880.
