Museo de Arte Etnico Americano Pajcha

Address:

20 de Febrero 838
Salta, Argentina

Description:

Located in the bustling nightlife district of Balcarce, this fascinating museum is crammed with ethnic art from all across Latin America. The life's work and labor of love of local ethnologist, Liliana Madrid de Zito Fontan, this collection is a world class display of artifacts from as far away as Mexico. Textiles and tools vie for attention alongside religious objects and paintings representing every ethnic group you can think of – and more. Comprehensibly arranged in different rooms, each with a theme, the objects offer an invaluable glimpse of life on the continent over the past centuries, while you can buy contemporary crafts at the excellent bookshop or while away some time in the relaxing café.
