This museum functions in what was formerly Bandera´s primary school. It is an extremely didactic museum where synoptic tables provide a description of the typical fauna of the Argentine North. There is a sector devoted to insects with their divisions and specifications. Another table covers vertebrates and invertebrates. The fauna is divided into three groups: Andean, sub-Andean and Pampean. One of its halls will be devoted to all the typical botanical species of this region. The museum will also be equipped with a taxidermic laboratory and a hall of ornithology. A special sector will be devoted to animals on the verge of extinction. Amongst the many stuffed animals on display, there is a spot-winged falcon, a black-legged Seriema, barn owls, striped owls, a red lizard and a caiman or black alligator
