Salta & the Andean Northwest - Argentina - page 476

(Belgrano s/n; admission AR$5; 9am-1pm & 5-9pm Mon-Sat) Alongside the San Francisco
church and convent, this museum retains a strong selection of colonial art from the
Cuzco school, which came about when monks taught indigenous Peruvians the style of
the great Spanish and Flemish masters.

(Pl Belgrano s/n; 8am-1pm & 2-9pm Mon-Fri, 9am-noon & 6-8pm Sat & Sun) On the
plaza, the attractively colonnaded cabildo houses the Museo Policial. Police museums in
Argentina are funny things, with grisly crime photos, indiscriminate homage to authority
and the odd quirky gem - in this case, the discovery that in 1876 you could expect a five
peso fine if you wanted carnal knowledge of a llama.
