Did you know that Falkland Islands are claimed as the property of Argentina? Despite the Islands’ status as a self-governing British Overseas Territory, their claim has been disputed by this proud nation who once had settlements on the Islands. The history of the Falklands is steeped in conflict, with the United Kingdom and Argentina almost coming to blows over its sovereignty in the late 20th century. The Malvinas and South Atlantic Islands Museum is a space in Buenos Aires dedicated to the vindication of their cause, and a fascinating place to visit because of the surrounding controversy. Today, this iconic museum stands as a living reminder of the Argentines’ fierce conviction, and is the best place for the lay person to learn more about the history of Argentina. The exhibits are divided into various sections, all of which are interactive and offer the visitor some sort of sensory experience. There are more general learning points on the flora and fauna of the Islands, along with more poignant themes such as the War Memorial dedicated to Argentines who have given their lives for the cause. No matter who you are, you will definitely be drawn to the strange passion that can be felt in this museum.
