The Museo del Presidio is the most chosen onebut there are others that you can visit with the same ticket, which lasts two days:
- Maritime Museum: was the first to open, in nineteen ninety fivelike a private collection of model ships and old maps. The collection tells the maritime history of the region, from the arrival of Magellanthe life and customs of the Yámana people, even the legends of the gold prospectors and the hard life in the Patagonian ranches.
- José María Sobral Antarctic Museum: bears the name of first Argentine sailor and scientist to winter in Antarctica, and from that moment onward covering the history of investigations and Argentine missions in the “white continent”. The reproduction of the hut in which Sobral and his two companions had to spend the winter of 1903 is for me the great star, surviving without the equipment that exists now. The parts of it are original.
- Marine Art Museum: are exhibited works of art related to the sea and the portwith pieces by great national artists such as Quinquela Martín, Eduardo Sívori, Antonio Berni and Lacámera.
