Historical Tourism & Museums

Museums are permanent non-profit institutions, for the service of society and its development, open to the general public.
The objective of museums is to purchase, restore, preserve, investigate, communicate and exhibit, for the purpose of research, education and entertainment, evidence and material on man and his environment, that is to say, his natural and cultural heritage.

Cultural Heritage

MDr. Gregorio Alvarez Municipal Museum, in Neuquén Capital City

It is the cultural inheritance of a community, and it consists of different natural and cultural assets (tangible and intangible) that characterize and distinguish that community. The customs, the food, the oral traditions, the architecture, the games, the clothing, and the aesthetic expressions, as well as the information obtained by the social and natural sciences like archaeology, anthropology, history and palaeontology, all make up the cultural heritage.
It makes us wealthier as a society and as individuals to learn more about its diversity.
Everyone is responsible to preserve it, and make a commitment to future generations.

Historical Tourism

The first permanent military base in Patagonia, RIM 10

It encompasses the remains of life in an extinction process, museums, ruins circuits, monuments, and historical facts in cities or rural spaces where events of local or national interest take place. Places of interest under any historical aspect are given a special value, including real estate that account for a part of the history of a place, like churches, schools, buildings of local architecture, or constructions that used to house typical means of production, among others.
