History edit
During the 1910s and 1920s in Argentina, there was the idea of creating provincial museums around the country. In 1926, the museum was inaugurated and named after the lawyer Pedro E. Martinez, who was the director of the museum until 1935. In 1938, the name of the museum was changed to Museo de Bellas Artes Pedro E. Martínez to honor the lawyer's work.[1] The museum was originally located in the Centennial School of Parana, in 1980, the museum was established in the house of the Tezanos Pintos family, this house was acquired by the Government of the Entre Rios Province to establish the museum in this place.[2] Between 1978 and 1980, during the Argentine dictatorship, the building was used as a clandestine detention and torture center. In 2012, a plaque was placed to identify it as a Site of Memory to be used as a reminder of the time of the dictatorship.[3]

The museum contains about 1,350 works of art including paintings, ceramics, drawings and sculpture.
