A ten minute walk from the centre of Salta, the Pajcha Museum is a must for all those interested in South American art and culture. Even though the museum is small I spent a long time admiring the artifacts and learning more about the fascinating cultural history of the countries.

This two room museum displays the impressive collection of a single person. Diego, the docent, is very enthusiastic, friendly, and proud of the collection. The museum has an eclectic mix of tribal artifacts and art that is either hundreds of years old or contemporary. Apparently, one of the goals is to show the relationships. While I enjoyed all of the... More

It would be an understatement to say that the The Pajcha Museum does not fiit the conventional idea of what a museum is. Professional curators would probably blow a fuse at the idea. But it's a great, idiosyncratic and eclectic collection of Latin American items from past and present. From the moment you ring the bell outside 20 de Febrerio... More

The eccentric and entertaining Diego enthused us with his passion for ancient South American art. This delightful private museum contains many interesting and some rather bizarre artefacts. These included pictures of Jesus on the cross wearing a lace skirt and others of angels brandishing muskets. There's some beautiful silver and textiles all beautiful displayed. A small compact museum, the Pajcha... More
