Abstract

The first Raisonné Catalog of the Museo Provincial de Bellas Artes Emilio Pettoruti recovers the history of the Foundational Collection, donated by Juan Benito Sosa in 1877 with the aim of creating the first public art museum in the country. 100 years after the opening of the Museum, this work highlights the importance of surveying, research and cataloging of works for the enhancement of heritage and its democratization.
