We walked 3 blocks southeast to this part old and part new cultural center. Entering at the new part, we passed the 15 ton meteorite to enter the atrium with its active cafe. Here we purchased our 5 AP each ticket and entered the museum at the display of artful ovens. After taking the elevator to the 3rd floor, we walked through the Modern Art Museum, descended to the 2nd floor Anthropology Museum with its Stegomastodon, then artifacts from the area's 1st culture back to 6,000 BC, pottery to 800 AD, then Jesuit(native carved stone), Revolutionary(gun collection), Governmental(Governor Rooms), and descended to the 1st floor Modern(musical instruments and buildings) Period. We spent 1 hour and could have spent longer in this wonderful Provincial museum.

You won't find anywhere the opening houres: it is from 9am to 9 pm but - of course - closed during the siesta from 2pm - 4/5pm. Apart from that very spacious building with a load of different things to see! I liked best the painting section and the ancient official rooms, where you learn something about the governors of Santiago. Besides, there are guides available who you can ask anything you want to know about - they will joyful tell you something about the argentinian history. I spent almost 3 hours there - worth it :))
