Museum of Nature and Archaeology

Visited here on Friday after 4pm it's free as recommended by tourist information. Very nice museum many floors and has coffee and bar downstairs in courtyard. Very good has lots of mummy's and skeletons and things you may or may not want to see. Recommend a visit.

Amazed by this museum, worth every penny... if you like to learn about the Canary islands and find out about their history, nature, and so on. This is the place, it covers it all. It also has artefacts of other islands, countries that once ruled the islands

Highly recommend if you want to learn about the Natural History of the islands. Excellent explanations. Sadly there is no one around to ask questions. Some videos and interactive games were out of service. I recommend this place.

A good museum with a wide variety of exhibits. Unfortunately, I couldn't read any explanations because everything was in Spanish. My boyfriend was able to translate some things for me. The mummies were a bit scary, but very interesting.

If you're only in Tenerife for vacation, don't go there. Even if you have seen everything, it still feels like a waste of time. Besides, the majority of the information there is displayed only in Spanish even if it seems that only the tourists visit it. The museum feels forgotten and outdated, full of light-bleached pictures, old non-working TVs and walls of text. Moreover, in places the text has low contrast which makes it hard to read. The building has 3 floors. We spend around 2 hours there and saw most of the expositions. There is very little interactivity so going through the museum can feel quite boring and tedious. It's a shame because there are many interesting expositions that with a little update and more cohesive layout could make this museum a lot more enjoyable. Only time to go there is from 4 PM on Fridays and Saturdays when the visits are FREE. Don't try going earlier because they'll make you wait until it's 16:00.

Fantastic, modern exhibition on the Canary Islands' history, clearly divided into natural and archeological parts. The world’s best collection of indigenous Canarian cultural artifacts. It slightly lacked more information about the destruction vs. assimilation of these people. Tons of interesting facts, while the overall museum is still relatively compact, not a mammoth that requires a half-day visit.

Great place to spend some time Learn about the history of the Canaries Cheap enterance fee & lovely cafe

Cheap entry tickets and really good value! Unfortunately a lot of information was only in Spanish but the videos and pictures made everything quite clear anyways. There is a part about birds where they use various logos to mean different things but the logos mean different things in different sections so this was a bit unclear to us at first. Other than that it was a very nice and interesting museum, we especially thought the exhibition on mummies was very interesting and done very respectfully.
