The Academy of Natural Sciences Bernardino Rivadavia assumes the name of this Argentinean hero because it was he who inspired the project that led to the First Triumvirate in 1812 invited the provinces to gather materials to form the collection of a museum of natural history. The project of this museum, then, was born about the same time as the country.

Of course, the museum had to grow and travel a lot before arriving at its current form. The initiative was completed only in 1823, labor Rivadavia, who was then minister. After occupying offices in the convent of Santo Domingo in the Manzana de las Luces and the Monserrat square, moved to its current headquarters in 1937 and definitive.

It is not only the reconstructions of skeletons (a very striking image) or cabinets full of information or panels with the sounds of nature that one can go discovering and recognizing. Everything is set for us to understand that science is not something abstract or isolate us.
