About us

The foundation

This is what Fundación Nocedal stands for: the founding purpose that guides everything we do.

Founding purpose

Four goals

01

Create museums and exhibition spaces

Museums across Argentina that preserve cultural and natural heritage, with forward-looking exhibitions that recover our identity.

02

Act through cultural activities

Close work with the community to encourage respect and care for heritage and the environment, as a way to improve quality of life.

03

Share our history with everyone

Use heritage to explore what identity means and build bridges of respect across cultural diversity.

04

Build a cultural network

A network of institutions and collectors, leading research on the meeting of Indigenous peoples, conquerors and immigrants in the pampas.
