Museo Municipal de Ciencias Naturales 'Lorenzo Scaglia'

The Museo Municipal de Ciencias Naturales Lorenzo Scaglia in Mar del Plata is a natural sciences museum named after Lorenzo Scaglia (1908–1976), the pioneering Argentine palaeontologist who spent decades excavating fossil sites in the Buenos Aires coastal cliffs and Patagonia, making significant discoveries of marine mammals and other extinct fauna. The museum houses collections of palaeontology, zoology, geology, and botany, and offers educational programmes for schools and the general public in the city of Mar del Plata.
