Provincial Museum of Natural and Oceanographic Sciences, Natural sciences museum in Puerto Madryn, Argentina.
The Provincial Museum of Natural and Oceanographic Sciences is housed in the neo-classical Pujol Palace, featuring carved stone staircases and ornate ceiling details. The building displays exhibits about marine mammals, birds, and habitats along the Patagonian coast.
The building was constructed in 1917 by merchant Agustin Pujol and acquired by the provincial government in 1971 to become a museum. This transformation opened the site to the public as an institution dedicated to natural sciences.
The exhibits show how Welsh immigrants and indigenous peoples shaped the region and built the society together. Walking through the halls, you see how these different groups influenced each other and created the culture of Chubut Province.
The museum is located at Domecq Garcia 517 and open on weekdays during regular hours. Visitors should allow enough time to explore the different exhibits and the building itself.
From the museum's tower, visitors can watch ships entering Golfo Nuevo while learning about marine life. This vantage point connects the view of the working harbor with the exhibits inside.
