Established in 2020, the Museo del Origami in Colonia, Uruguay, is the first and only museum of its kind in the Americas. It is committed to expanding awareness and appreciation of folding as a creative and scientific discipline. It collects, preserves, and studies international works on paper and other foldable materials while fostering research and education.
