City Museum Casa Hernandez
About This Museum
Tucked away on a quiet street in the heart of Salta, the City Museum Casa Hernandez is one of those places you almost stumble upon, and then feel so glad you did. It’s not a massive, overwhelming institution, but rather a charming journey into the city's soul. I was completely captivated by the main room, where antique pianos and delicate violins sit silently, telling stories of Salta's musical past. Upstairs, the cozy library feels like a hidden treasure trove, its shelves lined with works from local authors you won't find anywhere else.
Collection Highlights
A beautiful assortment of historic musical instruments, including ornate pianos and stringed instruments, alongside a dedicated library featuring books exclusively by writers from the Salta region.
Visitor Information
It's located at La Florida 97—an easy walk from the main plaza. Just double-check the opening hours before you go, as smaller museums like this can sometimes have limited schedules.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a classic Salta townhouse with thick whitewashed walls, a traditional wrought-iron gate, and an interior centered around a serene courtyard.
