The museum is focused on all of the aspects of the aboriginal culture.It is made up of two geology and anthropology rooms and has two more rooms whith tapestries, paintings and sculptures.The large backyard of the museum its full of huge statues made out of stone and representing divinities worshipping Pachamama.
Firstly amaicha is a beetnik place with a very strange invasion of hippies!Very poor city, some good place to eat and stay (casino).This museum is not Worth the fees. Everything is new
Para visitar. A pesar de no ser auténtico es la obra de un artista y realmente es muy pintoresco. El guía excelente.
In this times of revalorization of the Indigenous Art (meaning art from the original inhabitants of the Americas) this is a great place to visit.It is a cultural reference about the local people. But it is also an artistic reference that no-one should skip.The creator of the museum and principal artist is Mr. Héctor Cruz. As a native, he was sucessful to reflect the cultural heritage of his ancestors. He is a scuplter, principally, as well as painter. He composed from scratch, the mininful sculptures and art of the museum. He was autodidact, lernt by doing, and it seems, he was born with great talent.In his museum you can live, see and understand the memories of rituals to honour the earth, the Gods and milenary mistic, the geology of the region, the nature of the region and how local native indigenous used to live at home and in community.This museum is the reflex of the 35 years work of this man, who wants us to understand and value in the present the cultures that give the spirit to this land.I clasify this for friends, but keep in mind, that you'll only enjoy this if you open your mind and heart to the forgoten and and now alive past heritage, so it can be enjoyed in any situation when this condition is complied.
La verdad es que es un lindo lugar para tomar fotografías pero en lo personal no estaría mas de 20 minutos alli
La magnificencia del trabajo de un genio autodidacta. El patrimonio del museo y las explicaciones del guía nos resultaron sumamente interesantes pero lo que colmó mi asombro fue el diseño de la construcción, realizada íntegramente con materiales del lugar. Un paseo obligado, de belleza inolvidable.
An amazing collection of giant statues or figures commemorating the deity Pachamama who I read as a Goddess of corn and/or fertility, making her the equivalent of the ancient European/Middle Eastern Goddess Ceres. The park and statues are all the work of one man, Hector Cruz and, though criticized by some reviewers as being poor art I think their principal attribute is their striking originality, variety and 'otherness'. On this basis they most definitely rank as art. The Good/Bad distinction is very subjective but, if I had a big sunny garden I would gladly give one of the figures pride of place, so yes, good art.How closely they represent the ancient peoples' imaginings of the Goddess and how much they are the product of Cruz's own artistic imagination is difficult for a non-specialist to determine, but if you are passing from the Quilmes direction to central Argentina by Ruta 307, take an hour to judge them for yourself. They are certainly memorable and I can bring many to mind without referring to my photographs.The small museum is of passing interest and there are some worthwhile souvenirs in the form of dishes and bowls made and signed by Cruz which are worth a place on your shelf.One interesting thing, I asked the curator if he could see a connection between Pachamama and the Virgin Mary. He said "Yes, we are all Catholics and I have no problem in worshipping both Goddesses because they are the same".
Its not only a museum but an art gallery. Interesting information about the earth and Beautiful art. very talented artist is the owner. He designed the museum and also shows his art. Beautiful to see and interesting information to be learned
la entrada es muy cara. Se nota que es algo "artificial" creado a poder cobrar entrada y tener un gran local de venta de souveniers.
Es un museo muy bonito, hay mucho para ver en cada sala. Nuestro guía fue excelente, nos contó muchas cosas y respondió a todas nuestras consultas. Muy interesante todo, para los amantes de la Pacha. Nosotras estuvimos más de una hora, porque nos encantó, y tomamos muchas fotos bellas.
