Museo Provincial de Bellas Artes Franklin Rawson

The Museo Provincial de Bellas Artes Franklin Rawson is an art museum in San Juan displaying paintings, sculptures, prints, and photographs across its exhibition spaces. The collection spans from classical periods to contemporary artistic work.

The museum grew from an art collection that began in 1850 and took shape through the involvement of significant cultural figures in the region. The institution took its current form when a new building opened in 2011.

The museum displays works by local artists across different periods, with dedicated galleries showcasing their creations. This arrangement lets visitors follow how artistic expression evolved in the region over time.

The museum offers daily guided tours with knowledgeable staff who provide information about the displayed works. There are also a library area and workshop spaces that regularly offer activities for interested visitors.

The building today stands on the site of the former Provincial Casino, blending history with modern architecture. The architects designed the space so that artistic displays interact with the special qualities of the location.
