Museum of Paleontology Egidio Feruglio, Paleontology museum in Trelew, Argentina.
The Museum of Paleontology Egidio Feruglio displays over 17,000 fossils from prehistoric creatures that inhabited the Patagonian region millions of years ago.
Founded in 1990 and named after geologist Egidio Feruglio, the institution has developed into a principal center for paleontological research in South America.
The museum educates 70,000 annual visitors through permanent exhibitions, a mini-theater presenting the universe evolution, and direct observation of fossil preparation laboratories.
Located at Fontana Avenue 140, the museum opens from 9 AM to 7 PM during summer months and 9 AM to 6 PM in winter.
In 2014, the museum's paleontologists discovered the Patagotitan mayorum, whose skeletal replica now stands in London's Natural History Museum.
