Fragmento
The creation of a museum on Navarino Island was an ambitious project that grew out of a deep interest in and concern for the island's natural and cultural heritage.The initiative was originally proposed by the Chilean Navy, the same institution that built the Martin Gusinde Anthropological Museum (MAMG), which opened its doors in Puerto Williams in 1975.
In the 1960s, before the museum was founded, a collection was begun of archeological material from the island's coastal areas, along with some objects of historical interest from the first occupation by pioneers.This collection was exhibited in the now defunct Mixed School No3 in Puerto Williams. The collection was moved when the Martin Gusinde Museum was established, becoming part of that institution permanent collection.
