Museo Canario

While the written information was in Spanish, there were audio guides which helped understand the significance of the items on display. Good place to explore. The skull and bones room is unusual in the quantity and set up but worth it.

Great place to visit and learn about the settlers who came to Gran Canaria. Lots to see and read about,also has audio description to help.

A private museum. Very well kept. Staff friendly and informative. 1 star lost as this museum is not wheelchair accessible and their building is not well connected by safe pedestrian access from the main tourist area of Santa Ana a short walk away. No drinking fountains. Pay to enter. Discounts for children and incapacitated persons. Augmented reality displays are interesting although we only observed these from a TV promo in the lobby as we didn't use the smartphone to view these during visit. Air conditioned building which is a bonus on very hot days.

Briefly, the museum would be great, if you were able to enjoy it without digital assistance, too. The museum has a fairly great collection of prehistoric items, nicely designed showcases (the hall of skulls, for example, are astonishing), but there is barely any sign on the items, not even a hint on their ages. If so, they are almost exclusively in Spanish, although most of the visitors are tourists, I would guess. The woman at the counter speaks English very well, though. Anyway, it is worth a visit.

The highlight Is definitely the room with all the skulls buy, generally, it is a nice museum about the pre-hispanic period of the local aborigins. Don't lose the shop with a historical library

Lovely archeological museum for people who are interested in the archeology. Reasonable entrance price. Kids loved it!

Very interesting museum in the center of the city. Gives you a better insight into the history of the local people's heritage and culture.

Super little museum that is both interesting and sad at the same time. It tells the story of the island's history and the fate of its indigenous people. There is a vast array of well-preserved artefacts on display, including a rather morbid but important display of mummies and skeletal remains. The displays are fascinating and very well presented. Not to be missed if you're in the city.
