Landing Museum, Cultural institution in Puerto Madryn, Argentina.
The Landing Museum tells the story of the first European settlers who arrived in Puerto Madryn, using digital technology to bring history to life. The rooms blend historical objects with interactive screens and projections, allowing visitors to explore the region's past through both traditional displays and modern digital tools.
The museum opened in 2020 and focuses on how European settlers arrived in this area during the 19th century and transformed the region. It documents their arrival and the immediate changes they brought to the landscape and the people already living here.
The exhibits reveal how the first settlers shaped this region and why that arrival remains central to local identity today. You can sense how people here connect deeply with the story of those early arrivals and what it continues to mean to the community.
The museum is centrally located in Puerto Madryn and easy to reach on foot, with clear signage and accessible design throughout. The exhibits are arranged intuitively, so visitors can explore at their own pace without being forced to follow a set path.
The exhibits use motion sensors that react to visitors and adjust projections in real time, giving each person a unique experience. This means hardly any two visitors see the displays quite the same way, since the digital content shifts based on how people move through the rooms.
