Provincial Museum of Natural Sciences President Dr. Arturo Illia

The Provincial Museum of Natural Sciences spreads across three floors with exhibits on the universe's development and environmental conservation. The collections feature fossils, meteorites, and geological specimens that illustrate the region's natural history.

The institution originated in 1919 as part of the Polytechnic Museum and moved several times before occupying its current building in 2007. The relocation to Sarmiento Park made the collection more accessible to visitors.

The museum is named after a notable Argentine politician and reflects the city's commitment to making natural sciences accessible to everyone. The halls demonstrate how important it is for the region to document and share its biological diversity.

The museum sits within the green Sarmiento Park, allowing for a relaxed visit in a pleasant setting. It is easy to reach and you should allow enough time to explore all three floors.

The collections contain fossils of South American megafauna, showing what giant animals once roamed the region. Visitors can also see rare meteorites that fell from space.
