About Museo Nacional Terry
The Museo Nacional Terry occupies the house where the painter José Antonio Terry lived, in the center of Tilcara. The complex preserves the relationship between residence, studio, and artistic production. His paintings are connected to the people and landscapes of the Quebrada de Humahuaca.
The house's architecture contributes to the visiting experience, with domestic-scale rooms and spaces organized around the artist's daily life. The exhibitions bring visitors closer to Terry's work and to other cultural activities of the museum. Programming may include different shows throughout the year.
Allow time to look at the paintings and the place where they were produced, rather than using the passage merely as a connection between two streets. The museum is reachable on foot from the main square. Before entering, check which areas are part of the visit and follow the guidelines on photography and movement within the studio.
