The Archaeological and Natural Sciences Museum is a municipal museum located in the Parque Temático Sanmartiniano, in the Manzano Histórico area, Los Chacayes district, Tunuyán department, in the Uco Valley.
It opened on September 16, 2005, thanks to the donation of professor and taxidermist Carlos Berthelemy and his wife, Marta Rosales. It first operated in the Casa del Maestro and later moved to the current building inside the park.
It was designed so that the general public, and children in particular, can see native and exotic animal species displayed in their natural environment, with information about each one: habitat, characteristics and conservation status. It also has an archaeological display with items and ceramics found in the Uco Valley, belonging to the Huarpe people and associated with the Agrelo Culture.
It is on the same grounds as the Retorno a la Patria museum, the monument and the Manzano de Tunuyán National Historic Tree, so it is worth combining your visit. According to the municipal tourism guide, it is open all year round. For inquiries, the Tunuyán Tourism Office is open Monday to Friday mornings.
