Visits must be scheduled

This museum lies only 50 blocks away from the central square of San Miguel de Tucumán and was declared a Site of Historic Heritage. It is built around typical objects of popular culture such as the cart that was used to carry sugar cane, the trapiche or sugar mil, mortars made of wood and stone, replicas of folkloric instruments such as bombos (large drums) and guitars, the tradicional clay oven, and the well that was present in every rural rancho. All this setting is surrounded by native plants such as ceibos, willow trees, carob trees, tipas (yellow-flowered hard wood trees), lapacho trees and creepers with flowers. At night the place is subtly lighted creating an atmosphere which is very appreciated by friends and sundry artists who gather under the moon, the symbol of Tucumán and its scenery.
This museum has been acknowledged as a "home-museum of everyday objects", and harbors many pieces surrounded by a unique and romantic aura. It stands just a few meters away from the historical road that used to lead to Upper Peru and now separates the green town of Yerba Buena from the capital of Tucumán.

Yerba Buena
Yerba Buena is virtually a neighborhood on the outskirts of San Miguel de Tucumán only 12km. away from the main part of the city.
