Museo de Historia Natural

The university's small yet packed Museo de Historia Natural is at the same site as the Universidad de San Carlos' botanical garden, which is also included in the admission price. The museum has a well-arranged collection of flora and fauna specimens from around the country – it's packed with gems (one room literally!) and has displays on history, archaeology, fauna, fossils and more.
