The oldest museum in Colonia del Sacramento, Museo Municipal, is home to an assortment of historic gems. Since its establishment in 1951, the collection has grown to encompass elements from the colonial period and earlier. See its most cherished items: skeletons of prehistoric beasts and antique furniture from the beginning of the Portuguese and Spanish settlements of Uruguay. Appreciate the whitewashed façade and brown wooden window shutters of the building beneath a roof of red tiles. The Portuguese colonists constructed the building in the first half of the 18th century, before the Spanish added to it at the turn of the 19th century. Browse the archeological room on the bottom floor, which features the skeleton of a gigantic whale. Locate another room with relics from an old hotel and casino. Find the miniature model of the town of Colonia del Sacramento as it was in 1762. The palaeontology section upstairs has dinosaur remains and fossils that are more than 100,000 years old. The house dates back to 1795, although it was heavily reconstructed in 1835. It is named after Admiral William Brown, a British colonist who had a major influence in the region. It is unclear whether he actually lived in the house or just visited it. From this site, purchase a package admissions deal that encompasses all of the museums in the historic centre of Colonia del Sacramento. The ticket is relatively inexpensive. The museum is open daily from late in the morning until afternoon, except Tuesdays. Find the Museo Municipal on the western side of Plaza Mayor in the historic centre of the city. Other important landmarks, such as the Portuguese Museum, the lighthouse and the Street of Sighs, are next to the museum. The main bus stop and the ferry terminal, which serves Buenos Aires in Argentina, are a 1-mile (1.6-kilometre) walk east. ## Plan a trip to see Municipal Museum Price found within the past 48 hours.
