I learnt a lot about the origin/life style of indignions people of gran canary..i was also assisted by an ai guide that allowed me to deepen that knowledge (focusing on their activities/funeral rituals)
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.
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.
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.
