The South American cowboy, or “gaucho” is the focus of one collection at this museum, and the other depicts the history of Uruguay’s currency.

This museum is a must on your montevideo museum list! Shows you and displays a very beautiful range of items referred to the legendary image of the "gaucho" and the countryside life in early uruguayan years. Shows you different types of coins and currency from past eras and even the museum workers have a great attitude and make some fun activities!

Wing Commander spent 3 nights in Colonia in order to facilitate our day trip to the Museum. Worth the effort especially with a brilliant dinner and tour after at the Narbona Wine Lodge ... best appetizer on this planet. Lots of advice for the self drive tourist: - Q-Trip: Bad directions all round as 21 takes you through all the towns then looses you. Bypass seems to be the way ... missed that suggestion. But we toured downtown Dolores and Mercedes. Uruguayans are so hospitable. The roads are good. There was not one single sign directing us to the Museum site nor the entrance. We played the fools by entering the technological school. - Q-Trip: English tour at 10 and 3 ... seemed to early or too late. Therefore pick up rental night before and start by 7. I would double check with Museum all details. Nicolas saved us from a dud ending by showing us around. - Q-Trip: Our car rental was cheaper than the gas. Private guide may help but not give you the flexibility.

This is a gem which we only discovered this year. My boys were flabbergasted at the array of whale and other sea creatures’ skeletons on display. There are many other elements such as vintage tin cans and the history of traditional Uruguayan sea resorts including Punta of course and Piriapolis. The insectarium across the road is also very compete and worth the visit. Only barrier is they don’t accept credit cards (unthinkable in this day and age) but accept US dollars and euros.

The museum is a great honour to the 29 who perished and a lesson to us all that life is not a gift but should be deserved. With its combination of storytelling, science and insight into the human spirit it has something for everybody. This is one of the best curated museums I have ever visited. Thank you Jörg!

There is no charge for entrance. We enjoyed our visit. Some of the items are reproductions but well worth the time to visit.
