Just 400 meters from GS Hotel, you will find this space created for the conservation, research, and dissemination of the cultural contexts of the pre-Hispanic world of great historical significance.
Its main collection features the Children of Llullaillaco, an archaeological heritage site discovered in 1999 at the summit of the Llullaillaco volcano in Salta, Argentina. In that sacred place, more than five hundred years ago, the lives of three children were offered to the gods in the context of the Inca Capacocha ceremony, along with a set of miniature offerings that had a symbolic character.
Throughout its history, MAAM has positioned itself as a scientific and technological leader in the conservation and presentation of the heritage it safeguards.
This early 20th-century French-style building, located 15 minutes from GS Hotel, was inaugurated in December 2008, with exhibits of the province’s invaluable artistic heritage.
