Reviewed By 852adrianam - San Carlos de Bariloche, Argentina

This Museum is important because some pieces of history can be seen- There are some military uniforms , some photographs . Animals of the fauna are embalmed , and something of the flora Don´t miss is not so big but value to have an idea about the nature surrounding the National Park

Acatushun Museum

Reviewed By F1211SVelizabethd - Los Angeles, United States

This small place is one of the most important collections in the world - with more than 2800 specimens of marine mammals. The fascinating collection of marine and birds that has been built over decades. Because of the unique geography, deceased animals get washed ashore nearby, so the animals weren't killed for the collection. The tour of the museum and the study department gave very special insights into local fauna and study/conservation efforts. The guides are both patient and knowledgeable. It was so interesting I visited twice (the Bone House is the smelly bit referenced in a previous review and you can skip that if you're not inclined to see what the bodies are like before they are the pristine bones one sees in the museum. I just took a brief look and it was enough for me. Don't let that put you off, this is a unique experience!)
