Rawson Open-Air Museum

Located on Boulevard Mendoza between Laprida and José Dolores streets
Municipality Tel. No.: 0264-4280677
Open all day long.

As can be inferred from its name, this is an open air museum located in the square on the Boulevard. It harbors over 30 large sculptures made of stone, marble and cast iron. Most of the were made by local artists. Unfortunately, since they have no protection of any kind, many of the sculptures have been damaged, daubed with paint and stripped of the plates inscribed with the names of the artists. Worthy of mentioning are "Protection", by Primo Vecchi, "Indifference" by Miguel Ángel Suco, "Always", by Sara Mansilla and "Rag Doll", by Lidia Batista.
