This small museum is situated in Bv. Nahuel Huapi 2177 next to Bahía Mansa and only a few meters from the chapel in a building that belonged to the first power plant in the village buit by Parques Nacionales and then occupied by Prefectura Naval.
In it you will find some aboriginal elements that speak about the habits and culture of our ancestors in this place.
