José Hernández Folk Art Museum

Palermo
The tour through the museum allows the visitor to have a broad vision of the trade and the passion of being an artisan.

Magnificent Creole, indigenous and urban crafts made by renowned Argentine artisans are exhibited.

Within its heritage, stands out the collection of Creole silverware, unique in its kind, which shows the work of the main silversmiths from Rio de Janeiro from the mid-nineteenth century, and during the twentieth and twenty-first. The exhibition of the works of the great image maker Hermógenes Cayo, considered as the "Leonardo of the Argentine Puna", is the most important in the country.

The building was conceived as a petit hotel at the beginning of the 20th century. In the garden, the donor and former owner, Felix Bunge, trained the famous boxer Miguel Ángel Firpo in the 20s.

It is part of the tourist tour "The Museum Mile".
