About Museo Histórico Provincial Juan Galo Lavalle
The Museo Histórico Provincial Juan Galo Lavalle occupies a house in downtown San Salvador de Jujuy. It was in this property that General Lavalle died in 1841. The building retains a domestic scale, unlike the palaces and administrative buildings nearby.
The rooms address different periods of the province's history, from colonial life to later social transformations. Objects, furniture and documents help to observe daily life and the conflicts that shaped the region. The visit is not limited to the biography of the figure after whom the museum is named.
Include the museum in a walk along Lavalle Street and allow time to go through the rooms attentively. The visit can accompany other historical sites, but each collection tells a different part of the city. Before you go, check how the interior visit operates and follow guidance on photography and movement through the galleries.
