The Carmen Funes Museum was created in the year 1984 in the city of Plaza Huincul, Neuquén, Argentina. It is located at the avenue Córdoba 55 of that city. It has a paleontological exhibition of full-sized dinosaur skeletons and a paleontological collection formed up to the date of this contribution, by 907 catalogued specimens. Currently, the scientific staff includes three resident paleontologists.
