Dr. Ángel Gallardo Provincial Natural Sciences Museum

The Dr. Ángel Gallardo Provincial Natural Sciences Museum (in Spanish, Museo Provincial de Ciencias Naturales Dr. Ángel Gallardo) is a public museum in Rosario, Argentina, specialized in biology.

On July 1, 2003, people attending a demonstration organized by labor unions launched fireworks and other pyrotechnic devices to attract attention, near the building.

The fire damaged or destroyed around 50% of the facilities, including 80% of the museum (with the loss of 11,000 of its 13,000 exhibits).

The remaining exhibits were restored, and the seat of the museum was moved one block, to the building that houses the delegation of the provincial government.

The museum was re-inaugurated on July 6, 2006, downsized, with a more modern concept including interactive displays.
