• Andes Museum - Nestled within a 19th-century edifice in Montevideo’s historical core, now a designated national monument, the museum showcases an array of exhibits. These include photographs, archival materials, personal effects, and fragments of aircraft wreckage, among other significant artifacts. A chronological display recounts the day-to-day happenings in the ‘Valley of Tears’ and parallels them with concurrent global events during the protracted 72-day ordeal. Spanning 400 square meters, the museum features 40 bilingual information boards, 30 display cases, multiple screens, and authentic wreckage, presenting a comprehensive narrative of this extraordinary tale of endurance. To engage with our offerings, such as art competitions and symposiums that tie into the narrative, visit our website for updates.
