This museum comprises only one exhibition room containing objects discovered in the area and others donated to it. It was created in 1995 for the purpose of assembling objects of historical and archaeological value for the people to be able to appreciate the local cultural wealth. The section dedicated to ethnography exhibits vessels used by the Chiriguano-Chané Indians, anthropomorphous figurines and a funerary urn pertaining to an infant of the Candelaria culture that flourished between the 4th and 11th centuries. There are also pieces of limestone with embedded sea creatures, since this area was primitively submerged.

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.
