Bernardino Rivadavia Museum of Natural Science, Natural history museum in Caballito, Argentina.
The museum contains multiple exhibition rooms dedicated to geology, paleontology, mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and marine life collections at Avenida Angel Gallardo.
Founded in 1812 and named after Bernardino Rivadavia, the museum initially opened in 1826 within the Santo Domingo Convent before relocating to its current location in 1937.
The institution maintains Argentina's first observatory and meteorological station, which Italian scientist Ottaviano Fabrizio Mossotti established between 1828 and 1835.
The museum welcomes visitors daily from 2:00 PM to 7:00 PM, offering guided tours on weekends with specific time slots for different exhibition sections.
