Museo Malvinas e Islas del Atlántico Sur, National museum in Buenos Aires, Argentina

The Museo Malvinas e Islas del Atlántico Sur occupies a three-floor building and displays collections about the South Atlantic's history and the disputed island region. The exhibition includes photographs, documents, and personal accounts that document the lives and events of these areas.

Created by decree 809/2014, published on 6 June 2014, the museum was inaugurated by Cristina Fernández de Kirchner on 10 June, the Day of Affirmation of Argentine Rights over the Islands, commemorating the 1829 creation of the Political and Military Command of the Malvinas. It occupies grounds of the Escuela de Mecánica de la Armada, a site where a clandestine detention and torture centre operated, a location criticised by the Commission of Relatives of the Fallen in the Malvinas War. Jorge Giles was its first director.

The institution showcases the islands and marine life of the South Atlantic, along with geographical features of these waters. Visitors encounter displays about the plant and animal species living there, plus information about the region's natural resources.

The museum operates on different schedules throughout the week and weekends, so checking current hours in advance helps plan your visit. Access is straightforward, and the location connects easily with public transportation options in the city.

The outdoor Parque de la Soberanía reproduces the outline of the Malvinas in relief, together with the silhouette of the cruiser General Belgrano, and an artificial lake. A pier links the museum to this open-air space, where a tall mast flies an Argentine flag visible from several kilometres away.
