The name Rocsen means Holy Rock, from the Latin rocca and sacer fused through Celtic. Rooms are labelled A to H alphabetically, but they are not laid out in that order inside the building, so visitors pass from the Comechingón Corner in Room G to the Rincón del Marginado in Room H. Room A holds the Rincón Criollo Argentino del Pequeño Agricultor and a bronze idol of the Egyptian god Amun-Ra.
The museum sits on the road between Mina Clavero and Nono, about 13 km from Mina Clavero and 5 km from Nono. Its rooms are labelled A to H but are not laid out in alphabetical order inside the building, so follow the signs rather than assuming a sequence. The facade's length sets the length of the museum, so allow time to walk its full extent.
The facade's 49 niches equal 7 times 7, and each holds a statue carved by founder Juan Santiago Bouchon of a pacifist humanist who added to human knowledge, among them Hypatia, Kepler, Pasteur and Mother Teresa. Above the entrance, in the central niche, stands Jesus of Nazareth surrounded by children. The facade's length sets the length of the building.
