This museum has two halls exhibiting items related to the study

Most of the exhibits were donated by professionals who carried out
their work in the province. There are pathological dental pieces
and some very old items such as a wooden mask and a number of prostheses
dating from last century.
Rosario
Rosario is located on the Paraná River and ranks third amongst Argentina's
most important cities. It lies 167km. away from the city of Santa
Fe 306km away from the city of Buenos Aires. It is joined to the
provincial capital by the Rosario-Santa Fe express way, and to the
city of Buenos Aires by route No.9 which is also an express way
up to Rosario. A must in the city of Rosario is the Monument to
the Flag erected near the slopes bordering the Paraná River at the
site where Manuel Belgrano (1770-1820, Argentine general and creator
of the National Flag) hoisted the Agentine for the first time in
1812. The tower of this monument rises over 70m. high and one can
take an elevator up to the top to enjoy a magnificent view of the
city the river. The monument is flanked by the coats of arms of
all the provinces by four Incaic suns.
