Francisco P. Moreno Museum of Patagonia, Natural history museum in Bariloche, Argentina.
The Francisco P. Moreno Museum of Patagonia contains four thematic rooms displaying natural sciences, prehistory, ethnography, and regional history within the Civic Center building.
The museum opened its doors on March 17, 1940, when the National Parks Administration acquired anthropological collections from its first director, Enrique Amadeo Artayeta.
The ethnographic collection presents artifacts and information about five indigenous groups: Yamanas, Tehuelche, Pehuenche, Mapuche, and Araucano peoples of Patagonia.
Visitors can explore the museum from Tuesday to Friday between 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM and 2:00 PM to 7:00 PM, with Saturday hours from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
The Natural Science Room exhibits a comprehensive collection of Patagonian animal species alongside geological samples and paleontological specimens from the region.
