Bernardino Rivadavia Natural Sciences Museum, Natural sciences museum in Parque Centenario, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The Bernardino Rivadavia Natural Sciences Museum is a natural history museum in Parque Centenario, Buenos Aires, holding 23 collections with around 1.5 million specimens. These are distributed across several exhibition halls that focus on birds, geology, aquariums, and paleontology.
Bernardino Rivadavia ordered the provinces to collect specimens in 1812, leading to the official founding in Santo Domingo Convent in 1823. In 1864, the institution began publishing the first Argentine scientific journal, presenting research by local naturalists.
The building displays artistic representations of animals on its exterior surfaces and throughout the interior spaces, signaling the focus on nature from the moment visitors arrive. This design connects science and art, making the visit an experience that goes beyond the exhibition objects themselves.
The halls are clearly organized by theme, making it easy to navigate and follow your own interests. Most areas are well accessible, and a full visit typically takes several hours, depending on how much time you spend with the exhibits.
Specialized research teams work here in botany, ecology, geology, paleontology, and zoology, and their studies contribute to the scientific understanding of the region. This active research makes the museum more than just a display space, as new knowledge is constantly being created behind the scenes.
