Museo Jesuítico La Banda, Northern Argentina, Argentina
4.0 (220 reviews) Spent Ranking #3 in Province of Tucuman Speciality Museums
Worth a visit!
We visited the museo after having lunch at the lovely restaurant attached to the museum which I would definitely recommend: cheap and delicious, plus humita (traditional sweetcorn dish) and soup good for vegetarians! The museum is an old Jesuit church and previous home of the Governor of Tucuman. It's well conserved and we had our own guide for the price of admission (around 20/30 pesos). The tour was in spanish, unsure if english tours are available. The house, chapel and artefacts are well preserved and lovely to see. There is also a shop selling local crafts, knitted goods etc well worth a visit. All in all a nice couple of hours to spend eating lunch and seeing some history.

So-so
The day we went it was raining and cold and it all smelled damp and humid. It could be a cute museum if the exhibits were cleaned and properly maintained. Not hard to look after 19th century furniture, just do as in a house... The L shaped tiny chapel is the best part. The young enthusiastic guides do a good job and need to be encouraged.

Jesuit history from 1718
The museum was interesting, but of course no English translations or translator. There are 5 menhirs in front of missionon the side. The receptionist said they had always been there.
