Mundo Yamaná
More an experience than a museum, the Mundo Yamaná is an exploration of the Fueguinos' attempts to bring the ancient indigenous Yamaná culture to life. Some of the expertly detailed dioramas (details in English and Spanish) are based on accessible bays and inlets of the national park; coming here before hiking in the park adds a new level of awareness.

Museo del Fin del Mundo
Built in 1903 for the territorial governor Manuel Fernández Valdés, this building was a branch of the Banco de la Nación up until 1978, when it was transformed into the Museo del Fin del Mundo. Exhibits on Fuegian natural history, stuffed birdlife, aboriginal life and the early penal colonies, and replicas of an early general store and bank, are of moderate interest.

Museo Marítimo & Museo del Presidio
Closed as a jail in 1947, the national prison now houses the Museo Marítimo and Museo del Presidio. Perhaps the most worthwhile part of the museum is the exhibit on Antarctic exploration. It contains incredibly detailed scale models of famous ships, spanning 500 years and providing a unique glimpse into the region's history.
