This museum functions in the house where the local sculptor, Juan Carlos Iramaín, lived. Amongst other monumental pieces, this artist produced the statue of Christ the Redeemer that crowns cerro (hill) San Javier. The museum was created in 1973 for the purpose of preserving the works made by this sculptor over the course of 50 years, as well as other works that were given to him by other Argentine plastic artists. Amongst the sculptures on exhibition by this artist is his series known as "Minerals", the original cast of the San Javier Christ, and a gigantic head of general Manuel Belgrano. There are also self-portraits, heads of children, and portraits of peasants made by Iramaín during the last years of his life.
