Pajcha Museum of American Ethnic Art
Museo Pajcha
A small museum founded by a private collector, showing Andean indigenous textiles, silverwork and religious art, with detailed explanations.
Museo Pajcha occupies a traditional mansion in the northern part of the old town. Its exhibits come from the founder's many years of private collecting and cover indigenous textiles from across the Andes, Mapuche silverwork, colonial Cusco School religious paintings and folk festival masks. The museum is not large, but its displays are refined and clearly themed, and staff often give tours in person, offering in-depth insight into northwestern Argentina and Andean culture. Opening hours are limited, so check the official schedule.
