Archaeological Museum of Puerto de la Cruz

It is free but unfortunately they do renovations so I saw only the small yard

Nothing much to see at present. Undergoing renovation although the man at the entrance was helpful with interesting written information on the Guanches - original inhabitants. Worth going to read this. Also some copied pots. Check if fully opened.

We called in today and entry was free as they are doing renovations and their is not much to see. Their was a replica mummy of an original habitant who were buried in caves. Their were information boards about their diet and life style in spanish. We were given information cards in English and it was quite interesting. They had a few pots and storage equipment that they used to store food. They had toilets you could use and some benches to rest on inside and in the little garden at the front. It would be worth coming back when the museum is fully open.

A disappointing place :-(. There were only two rooms open, out of many that could have been, there were very few artefacts and even those were reproductions. There was what seemed like an interesting few well illustrated panels of information about the history of the original inhabitants, but all in Spanish (fair enough - we are in Spain!!) but it could easily have been in a book, with no point in visiting the place. We were given three very wordy A4 sheets of info in English (well done for this) but they only vaguely related to the illustrated panels. Again they could easily have been online or in a book, with no real reason to visit. It’s a lovely period building.

Turned up today to find that the museum is closed and nothing is available to view. On talking to the proprietor at the Museum he informed me that the establishment is under renovations. The estimated time to completion is within the next 2 - 4 months....I would therefore recommend not visiting until at least end of Q1 2019

The museuem is total empty. I only saw there a few goat's heads and some stories about Guanche. I leave 2 stars only because it is for free.

We arrived today at this house and found no signs of any museums. Please warn guests before they travel long distances to see this.

Great museum. Can't wait to go back when other rooms opened. Set in beautiful building which is worth seeing itself
