It consists of 3 main halls where exhibitions are organized by categories, such as insects, ichthyology, herpetology, ornithology, mammals, and anthropology. The museum was founded in 1960 by Eduardo Fernández, a science teacher at Colegio La Salle, who with the help of his students began the collection.
