When we entered the main hall of the new Museo de Arqueología de Alta Montaña (MAAM), we were surprised to see a crowd wandering about. It is usual to see all this activity during the inauguration of an exhibition, but it is quite rare to see it two weeks afterwards.
The building belonged to the Education Council of Salta. Repaired and conditioned for its new purpose, it has 6 permanent rooms, 3 temporary spaces, the scientific rooms, an auditorium and a coffee-shop. The design has been thought from a modern architectural perspective but its structure maintains various Incan symbolic traits.
In order to see this important cultural and scientific project better, before going through the rooms, we resolved to have a word with the museologist and director of the MAAM, Lic. Gabriel Miremont. Gabriel, who had presented its proposal of the museum to the government of Salta, told us about the archeological find and its dimensions. And, after an interesting chat, he was our guide in the tour around the museum.
