Museo Arqueológico y Antropológico ex Casa Martínez
About This Museum
Tucked away in Corrientes, this museum is a true gem because it feels more like stepping into a historic family home than a formal institution. The collection itself is an intimate journey through the region's past, where Guarani ceramics and colonial-era relics aren't just displayed; they tell a story of the people who lived here. You can almost feel the history seeping from the walls of this beautifully preserved house. It’s a wonderfully personal and immersive experience that larger museums simply can't replicate.
Collection Highlights
Look for the intricate Guarani pottery with its distinctive geometric patterns and the hauntingly beautiful pre-Columbian funerary urns. The colonial section brings a more recent past to life with everything from silverwork and religious art to everyday tools that settlers used.
