Popular Museum of Iruya
Beautiful and simple exposition 
For a museum lover like @tripticity_ every find is always an invitation that cannot be dismissed.
In Iruya, right next to the Church of Nuestra Señora del Rosario and San Roque, a small door opens the ascent through a very narrow staircase to the Popular Museum, like a replica of what it is to walk through the town through its steep and narrow streets of stone ball.
And if time already runs slowly in Iruya, in there it simply does not move forward.
A candid and shy neighbor invites you to oblate the symbolic entrance ticket, equivalent to the purchase of a cheap candy, as well as to fill out the registration form on a tarnished sheet that seems to have suffered the winds that run on the road to these latitudes.
To one side, "alfajores de dulce de leche" sweet local pastries and Andean potato chips in their different varieties had been left in custody by a local vendor, so it was impossible to avoid the temptation to buy those souvenirs, almost as if we understood that this tiny collection had its corresponding museum shop.
There are only two rooms displaying objects that bear witness to the history of Iruya and its people, as well as indigenous relics and archeological pieces, such as arrowheads and utensils.
The models that replicate the customs and beliefs of the local people stand out.
A section is obviously reserved for religious tradition, with dresses and mantles of the Virgin of the Rosary, rosaries and diptychs of saints and holy cards.
The exhibition is modest but beautiful, as well as Iruya.
