Museo
Folklórico Provincial Gral. Manuel Belgrano (Folk Museum).
Address: 24 de Septiembre 565.
It
is situated in the house belonging to Bishop Colombres's family; this exceptional
priest is said to have died in one of its rooms.
This building
of a simple architecture dates from post-colonial times and except for some alterations
in the interior and in the facade, the house keeps the spirit of the period intact.
The Folk Museum was founded through a resolution of the Executive
branch of the province in 1943. Its exhibitions present excellent examples
of popular and folk handicraft from Tucumán and other northern provinces.
A great number of elements, of different origins and materials, are exhibited
here as a sample of the relevance and quality of the non-industrialized production.
