Leleque Museum it is but the showcase for a scientific-cultural project of original projections and antecedents. Initiated by the romantic motivation of a sort of Patagonian pioneer stuck in time, originally-Russian Pablo Korschenewski got his citizenship in Leleque. The very name of this spot keeps native echoes, referring to a regional shrub in the language of the Patagonian Meridian Tehuelche. It is also a richly symbolic place ever since it became the scenario for the last skirmish in the battle of national troops against the remaining groups of Tehuelche aborigines having offensive weapons (spears), in 1888.

This project intends to rescue and exhibit the essential aspects of Patagonian history, from the standpoint of the aborigines, the millenary peoples of this territory. Moreover, this is the result of regional scientific investigation, together with the preparation of human resources, through publications, videos and fairs. We are pleased to invite you to enjoy our current show, “Patagonia: its history”, and to rest for a while in a cozy and refreshed Patagonian "boliche".
