Excelente sitio para conocer sobre las diferentes especies del pasado hasta la fecha. Instalaciones en muy buenas condiciones,con aire acondicionado. Museo pequeño pero en buenas condiciones. Ahora un elemento a destacar es que las guías que se encuentran en éste lugar (2 al momento de haber ido) parecen 2 animales momificados más. La primera a la entrada del museo sentada en un especie de escritorio (de al parecer origen extranjero) desde que entramos estaba hablando por celular, entramos, no lo quitó de su oreja,no nos dió la bienvenida y estuvo hablando por el celular hasta que terminamos la visita "autoguiada" al museo (parecía que la charla estaba entretenida). Yo como madre de 2 menores la tuve que saludar con un " Buenas tardes" porque la señora estaba totalmente compenetrada en su charla y no fue capaz de pronunciar un mísero " buenas tardes". A eso le agregamos que en el fondo del museo, sentada en otra silla más, estaba una chica más jóven, funcionaria del museo también, tan entretenida mirando un vídeo en su celular que no se percató que estuvimos 5 minutos para al lado de ella mirando la escultura que estaba a su lado. Hablo que estábamos a menos de un metro. Al ver qué ni siquiera nos saludó, al igual modo que la señora en la entrada del museo, pronuncié un fuerte " buenas tardes". A lo que despegó sus ojos de la pantalla y nos respondió. No recibimos ni un saludo, ni una explicación de nada. Si son guías del lugar o cuidadoras literalmente parecen animales momificados con sus celulares en la mano. Porque es una falta de respeto que uno vaya a un lugar cultural y encontrar cero cultura proveniente de las personas "a cargo" del mismo. Una vergüenza los empleados. Empezando ya desde el no saludo recibido al entrar y la falta de respeto del uso del celular. Parecía que estaban en sus...

To set expectations. This is a very small museum. There are two rooms and a hallway and that covers the entire museum. We didn’t have any expectations so we were not disappointed as some of the other reviews said, we had no wait and were the only people visiting at the time.

There’s an expansion happening to the museum and about 80% of the building is under construction.

Recommendation would be to go only if there’s no wait and know there’s a very limited number of items on...

Free, well presented natural history of Uruguay in Spanish and English. Loves the egg collection. How did the Doesicurus die off? That animal was impressive. Museum is in the lobby /entrance to a former prison. Moving history of The Disappeared from 1960s/70s in included on the left. Don't miss the modern art (political) museum around to the left if you are facing the building from the front, and walking around the jail complex to the back of the building. We...

Es un hermoso lugar para visitar. He ido varias veces y siempre me ha sorprendido la limpieza y la organización. Las exposiciones son muy pequeñas pero muy nutritivas.

Natural museum history located in a fixed up wing of an old prison. The building is very cool, but there are only 2 rooms that actually have nature information, the others have some contemporary art. While there's not a lot of exhibits, they are set up quite well. Plus they have info in different languages, which is very rare here. Looks like they are planning on making the museum bigger in the future.
