Museo Juan Galo Lavalle, Historical museum in San Salvador de Jujuy, Argentina
The museum occupies an 18th-century colonial building with three courtyards, thick square pillars, and basic rooms connected by galleries.
General Juan Galo Lavalle met his death in this building on October 9, 1841, during conflicts between Unitarians and Federalists.
Seven exhibition rooms present artifacts from indigenous communities, colonial religious items, military standards, and documents from provincial and national history.
The museum opens Tuesday through Friday from 8:00 to 19:00, and weekends from 9:00 to 19:00, with free admission for all visitors.
The structure contains an original colonial well near the entrance and maintains architectural elements from the 1700s, including wooden doors.
