Museo Canario

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

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.

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.

Great little museum that packs a world of anthropology history of the island. Beware this is not an art musem!

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

Interesting to learn about the history of the indigenous people of Gran Canaria through artifacts and exhibits. Small but quaint museum. Do note the it’s 2 levels and did not spot a lift hence unsure if it’s wheelchair friendly. Free audio guide using your mobile phone to scan the QR code in each museum room however unable to connect to the museum’s WiFi and 3G was crawling slow hence skipped the audio guide in total. Opening hours: Mondays to Fridays 10am to 8pm, Saturdays and Sundays 10am to 2pm. Entry fees: €5, SGD7.10. Tickets can be bought at the entrance.

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.
