In 1915, a decree issued by governor Ernesto Padilla ordered the creation of the Provincial Museum of Fine Arts, but it was not until decades later - 1977 - that this institution was granted its own premises. It now functions in the building formerly occupied by the Council of Education. The architecture of this building responds to an academizing style denoting French influence. The large hall that doubles the rest of the construction in height is crowned with a dome that is virtually baroque in style, and has a movable glass roof with a large skylight. The museum harbors works by some of Tucuman´s most outstanding artists, namely, Ignacio Baz, Atilio Terragni, Santiago Falcucci, Renato Droghetti, Timoteo Navarro and Demetrio Iramaín, as well as works by great Argentine artists such as Collivadino, Fioravanti, Quinquela Martín, Thibon de Libian, Policastro, Daneri, Alonso, Victorica, Spilimbergo and Berni, amongst others.

San Miguel de Tucumán
The city of San Miguel de Tucumán, capital of the province, is located 1,303km. away from the Capital City, on national route No. 9, and 447m. above sea level. It is the most important industrial and commercial city in the Argentine Northwest, and has several touristic attractions in the surroundings, such as Villa Nogués, cerro San Javier and El Cadillal dam.
