Welcome to our new website, designed to help you discover our history and learn about the work of the Museum & National Trust

The Evans Warrah: A Valuable Scientific Discovery

Earlier this year, 13-year-old Dale Evans found some fascinating bones on this family's farm. These were shown to be the remains of a Warrah - Charles Darwin's "fox-like wolf" unique to the Falklands - a species extinct since the 1880s.

The Warrah's existence on the Islands is an enigma. Could this discovery provide valuable new information?

Read what we know about the Warrah and follow the story as it unfolds.

The Museum needs to move...

The Museum's future is dependent upon relocation - ideally to the Government Dockyard.

Without this development we will be unable to expand and improve our exhibitions, and our access to customers is severely limited. We also need to have better storage facilities to protect our reserve collection.

A National Stamp Collection for the Falklands

Thanks to the efforts of the Falkland Islands Philatelic Study Group, the Museum now holds a full collection of local stamps, up to 1999.

Learning about Falklands' history

For a relatively young country, the fact that the Falkland Islands has a fascinating and diverse history often surprises our visitors. 

We hope soon to add fact sheets and resources for teachers to this site, but if you need particular information and cannot find it here or in our "Collections" or "Articles", please contact us for details of research facilities.

Help us to record and care for Falklands' heritage by becoming a Friend of the Museum, purchasing items from our shop, or by making a donation.

The M&NT is a charity registered in the Falkland Islands.
