Provincial Museum of Fine Arts, Art museum in Salta, Argentina

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 created by the Government of the Province of Salta to promote, educate and exhibit local, national and international artistic production. Its building was fully restored, expanded and adapted for museum use, with more than 1000 square metres and 11 rooms on two floors. Two religious objects entered through the 1960 legacy of María Luisa Leguizamón de Leguizamón, and two works were loaned by Margarita Sunblad.

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 occupies a restored and expanded building of more than 1,000 square metres, with 11 rooms on two floors. The Pre-Hispanic art display and the 19th-century portrait room are upstairs; the religious works of the 17th and 18th centuries are in the seventh room. Allow time to move between floors.

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.
