Museum Emilio Caraffa in Cordova

Where the avenue Yrigoyen finds with Square Spain, Emilio Caraffa appears the monumental building of the Museum. This Fine arts museum had several stages. His opening was in 1916 and it was designed in neoclassic style by the Hungarian Johannes Kronfuss. Later, in 1962, it was extended, and in 2007 him another building of 1938 joined. The connection is a giant metallic structure of covered laminated profiles of glasses that offers to him to the interior of the museum big luminosity.

In the principal entry there is a thematic bookstore and snack bar and, as it is promoted, nine rooms interconnected by translucent bridges appear. In this museum there are the most valuable hereditary collections of Cordova, which date back to ends of the XIXth century. This cultural place tries to be a laboratory of contemporary art opened for the exchange and for the debates, where month a month there happen tens samples of the highest artistic level.
