Located inside the Parque de las Naciones venue, this museum features three show rooms very well arranged so that visitors may observe and learn about the different aspects that helped shape the identity of Oberá.

Municipal Historical and Natural Science Museum
The first hall is devoted to the roots of Misiones and it displays various photographs, rock material and handicrafts made with wicker by the primitive dwellers of the area: the guaraní people.

The second hall is made up by a historical archive that reveals various significant facts related to the community such as the Massacre of Oberá, name given to the agricultural protest made in 1936; or the unusual snowfall that took place in August, 1965. Besides different pieces once owned by the pioneer local families, mostly domestic tools, work tools, photographs, murals and typical outfits are also exhibited.

Lastly, the Natural Science Room gathers most regional bird specimens. The animals are either dissected or preserved in formaldehyde, resting on diverse explanatory panels that describe their main characteristics.
