Inaugurated in 1968, the Dr. Eduardo Casanova Archaeological and Anthropological Museum is one of Tilcara's most important cultural spaces and is part of the University of Buenos Aires' Tilcara University Center complex. Its collection comprises more than 4,700 archaeological, ethnographic, and folkloric artifacts recovered from excavations and research in the Quebrada de Humahuaca and other regions of Northwest Argentina, including ceramics, tools, textiles, and objects from various periods. The museum offers a chronological journey through the daily life, technology, and ritual practices of the indigenous peoples, from the earliest hunter-gatherer groups to the Inca presence and the first colonial contacts, with an anthropological perspective that connects the past with current cultural realities. In addition to its scientific value, the museum is an ideal opportunity to delve into the material history of the region, understand the cultures that inhabited the Quebrada and enrich the visit to the nearby Pucará de Tilcara, with which the same entrance ticket is often shared.
Opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday from 09:00 to 18:30.
