Museo del Fin del Mundo, Historical museum in Ushuaia, Argentina
Museo del Fin del Mundo is a museum in Ushuaia that occupies a former bank building. It houses over 3,400 books on regional history and displays objects related to early settlers and the region's prison past.
The museum preserves artifacts dating back about 8,000 years from the original inhabitants of this region. These collections help show how human settlement developed in this remote southern area and what events shaped it over time.
The museum displays objects and stories about the Yamana and Selk'nam peoples who made this region their home. Their daily tools, clothing, and personal items reveal how they survived in one of the world's harshest environments.
The museum is easy to find in central Ushuaia and visitors can walk through at their own pace. Plan time to see both exhibition areas, and wear comfortable shoes as you will be moving around quite a bit.
Visitors can see a heavy ship's figurehead recovered in 1950 from an English vessel that sank in 1893 near these waters. This piece tells the story of the many seafarers who lost their lives on this dangerous southern coast.
