The museum is the brainchild of Kovacs brothers who since 1952 have been devoted to research on the birds of Patagonia for museums across the world.

Ciai who teach them about the art of taxidermy (which is the conservation of animals for dissection), they began with the collection of these specimens. Currently Kovacs also play an important educational role, giving lectures and conferences.

The Museum, founded and opened in 1995, is considered a valuable cultural asset. Is located in the heart of El Bolson, in Saavedra 275, and is visited constantly by contingents of students and tourists, national and foreign, as well as researchers, ornithologists, researchers and lovers of nature study to find information and gain knowledge of the birdlife that inhabit the Patagonia Argentina.
