The Museo Provincial de Ciencias Naturales Presidente Doctor Arturo Illia is a natural history museum situated in the Parque Sarmiento in the city of Córdoba, Argentina. It is named in honor of the former Argentine president, Arturo Illia, and is administratively dependent on the provincial government.
Exhibitions and Research
The museum offers a permanent exhibition spread across three levels. It also conducts research in biology laboratories, operates a reproduction workshop, and maintains a repository where various collections are safeguarded and preserved.
Exhibition Levels
The museum features three levels of exhibition. The ground floor showcases specimens of the South American Megafauna from the province of Córdoba, which became extinct about 10,000 years ago. The first level presents an exhibition on the origin of the universe, featuring meteorites and representative rocks of the earth's crust, as well as the geology of the Cordoba territory. The third level offers a space for reflection on the conservation of the planet, with large-scale images of the province's natural environments and a life-size reconstruction of two pterosaurs.
