Margarita Island Marine Museum
Inaugurated in November 1994 and located on the Macanao Peninsula, the Marine Museum welcomes
visitors with the sight of a 14-meter-long sardine whale at its entry. The museum is divided into four
rooms, each with their own exhibits. Room 1 features an exhibition of corals while Room 2 features
invertebrate animals such as the giant squid. Room 3 features vertebrates, some in the form of fossils
and in Room 4, the exhibits feature photographs of mammals such as dolphins and whales.
