Provincial Museum of Natural and Oceanographic Sciences

The Provincial Museum of Natural and Oceanographic Sciences occupies the neo-classical Pujol Palace, featuring carved stone stairs and ornate ceiling braces.

In 1971, the provincial government acquired the Pujol Palace, built in 1917 by merchant Agustin Pujol, and transformed it into a museum dedicated to natural sciences.

The museum exhibits detail the integration between Welsh immigrants and native peoples, highlighting the development of the Chubut Province through dedicated exhibition halls.

The institution maintains regular opening hours from Monday to Friday at Domecq Garcia 517, offering educational programs about marine biology and local ecosystems.

From the museum's tower, visitors can observe ships entering Golfo Nuevo while exploring exhibits about marine mammals, birds, and the Patagonian coastal ecosystem.
