| Abstract: | This article introduces the recently established creationist museums in South America managed by the Seventh-day Adventist Geoscience Research Institute in Loma Linda, California. The article raises a series of questions about this phenomenon and what it might mean for our understandings of the relationships between science and religion and the public's relationship to both. It compares the Ibero-American museums to their counterparts in the United States, followed by the history of creationism in Brazil and how this Brazilian development connects to recent South American Adventist creationism endeavors. Based on secondary sources and internet research, it focuses on the new Argentinean creationist museum established in 2023 in Libertador San Martín, Entre Ríos, analyzing how the instructions issued from Loma Linda are put into practice in that particular setting.
