Slightly faded old-school museum with a manageable selection of treasures from the indigenous people of South America. Extensively documented primarily in Spanish, but translated into English in a guidebook in each room. Allow time to read (I spent about 90 minutes here, but I'm an anthropology enthusiast). Well worth visiting if you're prepared to make an effort. Otherwise don't bother - you'll be through in less than half an hour and all you'll remember will be a few photos of people with no clothes on.

Was an a great visit, the English translation sheets were excellent provided an amazing review kinda wish I could get a copy. But the best was the lady that informed me of your annual event that happened. I missed the name of it, but I hope it brings a good year to all.

Beautiful place! The building is a historical place and the guides are excellent! They are now even making an access ramp.

The Ethnographic Museum is an institution dedicated to research, dissemination and conservation of historical and anthropological heritage, from the perspective of social processes and respect for cultural plurality. It has vast collections of archeology, ethnography and biological anthropology. Although it has been interested mainly in the aboriginal populations of the current Argentine territory and other areas of the American continent, it has also valued objects from different parts of the world. The archaeological collection comes mostly from northwestern Argentina and Patagonia and was largely gathered by systematic research organized and funded by the museum itself since its founding. But it includes a broader anthropological background, representative of what at the beginning of the 20th century was called the "primitive world": potteries and weavings of the Andes, vessels of classical Greece, Central American funeral offerings and even prehistoric pottery of present-day Japan. The area of \u200b\u200bbiological anthropology has about 10,000 bone pieces of individuals from different populations and some mummified bodies. The ethnographic collections correspond mainly to the material culture of the ethnic groups that have populated what is now the territory of Argentina. They also include goods from other societies: feather art of the Chaco, pottery of the Pueblo Indians, African carvings and Easter Island, pieces of Oceania, cult objects of different religions. The Ethnographic has a library specialized in anthropology issues and a photographic and documentary archive. It is currently the headquarters of several research groups of the Faculty, the National Council of Scientific and Technical Research and other institutions.

Excellent reminder of legacy, too frequently overlooked. Some interesting lectures too.

This place was closed due to strikes that day so we wasted time finding it. I have no idea what it is like.
