Emilio Caraffa Provincial Fine Arts Museum
Museo Provincial de Bellas Artes Emilio Caraffa
A provincial art museum beside Sarmiento Park, where a neoclassical original building connects to a modern extension, focusing on Argentine art.
The Emilio Caraffa Museum opened in 1916 and is named after Córdoba painter Emilio Caraffa. Behind the neoclassical original building is a modern glass exhibition wing completed in 2007. Its collection focuses on Argentine and local Córdoba art from the 19th to 21st centuries, and temporary exhibitions change frequently. Admission is inexpensive or free. It is open Tuesday through Sunday from about 10:00 to 20:00. Located next to the Evita Museum and Sarmiento Park, the three form an 'art triangle.'
