I went with my little sister (12) and even though it's a very little museum, it has a lot of interesting information and amazing bones of a lot of native species. Worth the price (not expensive). more »

You have to look hard for this museum. It presents an interesting aspect of looking at the animals that live in Ecuador. $2.00 gets you in to a rather musty room, full of skeletons. I would rate it hi... more »

Dirección: Bolívar 657 y Borrero frente a la iglesia de San Alfonso El Museo de Esqueletología “Dr. Gabriel Moscoso E.”, es una iniciativa privada orientada a la conservación de la naturaleza por medio de la investigación científica y la educación ambiental. Creado en base a la colección recopilada por más de cuarenta años por el Dr. Gabriel Moscoso Espinosa. La intención principal del Museo es el generar una conciencia en los visitantes que derive en un cambio en los comportamientos individuales y colectivos de la vida cotidiana que afecten al ambiente. La filosofía del Museo se basa en la premisa de que nadie valora lo que no conoce y que la ciencia debe acercarse al público a través de exposiciones que a más de informativas sean amenas. Y que no impliquen únicamente una transferencia de información ecológica o conservacionista sino permita la reflexión del visitante, luego de la cual este pueda asignar un valor personal a los recursos naturales, creando un efecto multiplicador en la sociedad. Como parte de su misión el Museo busca convertirse en un centro de investigación científico para el sur del país, para lo cual a partir del año 2004 su misión es la protección de la Diversidad Biológica y Cultural del Ecuador mediante la investigación científica y la difusión del conocimiento científico y cultural asociado a la diversidad y el uso del arte como un medio de consecución de sus objetivos.

Address: Bolívar 657 and Borrero opposite the Church of San Alfonso El Museum of skeletons "Dr. Gabriel Moscoso E.", is a private initiative aimed at the conservation of nature through scientific research and environmental education. Created on the basis of the collection compiled by over forty years by Dr. Gabriel Espinosa Moscoso. The main intention of the Museum is to generate awareness in visitors resulting in a change in individual and collective behaviors of everyday life that can affect the environment. The philosophy of the Museum is based on the premise that no one appreciates what do not know and that science should bring to the public through exhibitions that are entertaining more than informative. And that does not only imply a transfer of information ecological or conservation but allows reflection of the visitor, after which it can be assigned a personal value to natural resources, creating a multiplier effect in society. As part of its mission the Museum aims to become a scientific research centre to the South of the country, for which from the year 2004 its mission is the protection of biological diversity and Cultural of the Ecuador through scientific research and dissemination of scientific knowledge and cultural diversity associated and the use of art as a means of achieving its objectives.
