Provincial Museum of Fine Arts

The Provincial Museum of Fine Arts is an art museum in Salta housed in a carefully restored building with exhibition spaces across two floors. Its collection includes religious art, portraits, and works by Argentine artists from the 18th and 19th centuries.

The museum was founded in 1930 and began collecting works from previous centuries. Over time it became an important place to preserve and display the artistic history of the region.

The institution displays religious artworks that reflect the spiritual traditions of the region, with spaces dedicated to different artistic movements. Visitors can observe how artistic expression has developed within northern Argentine culture.

The museum is located on Avenida Belgrano and is open Tuesday through Sunday with free admission for all visitors. The collection is spread across two floors, so allow time to explore the exhibition spaces at your own pace.

The museum displays works by local artists such as Ernesto Scotti, Aristene Papi, and Ramiro Dávalos, who shaped Salta's artistic identity. These artists are less known today, but their works reveal the rich creative tradition of the province.
