Guera Malvinas Argentinas Museum — Attraction in Río Gallegos

Interesting to see how Argentina views the "war". For incorrect reasons many people feel the Falklands should be under Argentina control. Unless the history I read is rubbish, Argentina has no more right to claim the islands than Spain or even France. I suggest people Google and read the facts. Britain did NOT throw anyone out in 1833 by the way. But whatever, the war was a travesty. For Galteri to send troops, conscripted boys too, to the islands to "take them back" was a disgrace.

Interesting museum. Basically all in Spanish, though. But you can see pictures and other stuff that dont really need words. The most beautiful part was the letters between warriors and their families.

One thing that I didn't like much were the staff talking in the back room, as I could hear them and that was making it difficult to focus on reading. But I like the guidance provided by them and I thank them for their volunteer work. Worth...

A really interesting museum about the Malvinas War. Run by volunteers, with many artefacts, models and letters. The volunteer when we visited was so helpful and friendly and explained the exhibits in English. The information is written in Spanish, but they have Wi-Fi so you can translate with the photo translator option on the Google translate app. Don't forget to donate...
