They are trying to prevent it from closing a historic museum in Bariloche that contains more than 10,000 fossils.

Rodolfo Corsolini, the founder of this institution – who operates in front of Lake Gutierrez, Villa Los Coihues – said that the museum would be closed on March 1, because he does not want to be called a trade. "We do not trade with our heritage, we pay here the entrance that can and which is the work of many years on the ground", he said.

But they could not build the bathroom for the disabled, for lack of budget. They announced two weeks ago Spain's proposal to integrate heritage into a traveling sample of two years of using large pieces.

The idea of ​​the province is to advise the museum's founder on legal aspects, funding and collaboration with other institutions, so that they can cope with the requirements of the municipality of Bariloche this requires a commercial license if they intend to stay open.
