Museo Provincial de Bellas Artes Franklin Rawson is San Juan's primary fine arts museum, known throughout the country of Argentina for its high-quality collections and exhibits. The museum's collections were begun in the 1850s by Benjamín Franklin Rawson, Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, and Procesa Sarmiento and were incorporated into a museum collection in 1936. In 2011, the museum was transferred to a new permanent facility within the former Provincial Casino building. It showcases a permanent collection of more than 900 works of international art, including paintings, sculptures, engravings, and photography. An exhibit room also showcases the works of local Argentinian artists, with temporary and traveling exhibitions hosted periodically on a variety of regional art topics.
