The organisation of this museum practically coincides with the foundation of La Salle School. However, it was in 1907, upon the arrival of brother Esteban, that the museum began to grow and develop in a methodical way.
The glass cases in the main hall contain a considerable number of mammals, birds and reptiles. There are also collections of minerals, coins, insects and butterflies. The rarest exhibits include a reduced head belonging to a Jíbaro indian, a calf with two heads, two deformed lambs, four-legged hens, and a two-tailed salamander. The secondary hall contains exhibits of the products of human labor, such as trains, airplanes and freight elevators, and a glass case exhibiting porcelain pieces and old weapons.
