The Malvinas and South Atlantic Islands Museum, established in June 2014, is situated in Buenos Aires. The Argentine government decided to house the museum in buildings that belong to the Escuela de Mecánica de la Armada. This location is significant as it was once a center of detention and torture during the military dictatorship, which adds a layer of historical context to the museum.
Focus of the Museum
The Malvinas and South Atlantic Islands Museum is not a war museum, but rather focuses on the history and life on the islands. It is the first national museum dedicated to the Falkland Islands in the history of Argentina. This makes it a unique destination for those interested in understanding the cultural, historical, and social aspects of the islands from an Argentine perspective.
Interactive and Sensory Experience
The Malvinas and South Atlantic Islands Museum offers an interactive experience for its visitors. It is divided into four sections, each providing sensory experiences that transport you to the islands. These experiences range from the sound of the characteristic wind of the islands to the noise of fighter planes during the war. This immersive approach allows visitors to engage with the history and environment of the islands in a unique way.
