Do not miss this nice museum. You can learn a lot about the life of the first inhabitants of the island. The skulls chamber it is fascinating (virtually unchanged since the 19th century), paying respects in the after life to the indigenous population. The only reason I give it 4 stars is because it is lacking english translations, so I used a translation app to read the panels. You can use the qr codes at some displays for audio guides in english.

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.

Interesting "private" museum. Has three displays that come to life on your phone too.

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

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.

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.

Fantastic museum on the Canary's pre-Spanish population. It's especially relevant if you are going to go visit the various historical sites related to them. It's a good size for a visit, not too large, but with enough depth to spend 40 minutes to an hour.
