This museum was initially
the convent of Santa Clara, founded in 1639. In 1985 it was
robbed, and several paintings and gold ornaments were taken.
The museum offers the visitor a general idea of the convent
life in La Plata, through paintings, jewelry, silverware, beautiful
furniture and examples of baroque musical instruments including
a working organ from the 17th Century.
