Almeida Museum

The Almeida museum is one of the many attractions in Gualeguaychú. At first, it was a travelling museum since Don Manuel Almeida liked to navigate the river, observe animals, photograph flowers, and gather bugs to show them later, in class, to his students.

Now it is located in one of the main streets of the city and has a varied collection of fossil pieces from the region. This space of science and conservation offers different activities such as guided visits and courses.

Professor Manuel Almeida’s huge collection was the reason why the museum opened in 1992. In 2019 the museum was completely remodelled thanks to the support of different organizations.

In the video below, you can see the exhibition rooms divided into fauna, archaeology and a tribute to Manuel Almeida.
