Science Museum Museum
Set eyes on the preserved carcass of a giant octopus at Museo Provincial de Ciencias Naturales y Oceanografico. The natural history museum, housed in the century-old Chalet Pujol, places a special emphasis on humanity's relationship with the wild seas. You can see skeletons and fossils of a wide range of animals, both land-dwelling and marine, as well as the museum's showpiece, the alien-like octopus. Look for the tactile seaweed exhibit, where you can handle a piece of the strange marine vegetation. Take a guided tour to get the most out of the museum. Our Puerto Madryn trip itinerary maker makes visiting Museo Provincial de Ciencias Naturales y Oceanografico and other Puerto Madryn attractions simple, and helps you make a travel plan personal to you.
