About

The Carmen Funes Municipal Museum in Plaza Huincul reveals paleontological treasures that have astounded the scientific world. The museum, curated by a team of professionals, transforms into a dynamic and educational journey for every visitor. Since the discovery of the first South American dinosaur in Plottier in 1883, collaborative efforts between national and international institutions have unearthed a remarkable array of continental vertebrates and sea invertebrates. Marvel at the museum's star attractions—the Argentinosaurus Huinculensis and the Giganotosaurus Carolinii, the largest dinosaurs ever discovered. Witness the majestic Argentinosaurus, a colossal herbivorous sauropod with parts of its skeleton on display, providing scientists insights into its massive 35-meter length and 100-ton weight. Immerse yourself not only in scientific heritage but also in the local history, archaeology, and anthropology that define this exceptional museum experience. The museum is open 9AM to 7PM daily.
