The basics

Visitors can take a guided or self-guided tour of the Museo Canario’s 11 exhibition rooms to learn how the first inhabitants of the Canary Islands lived from the 1st millennium BC through the 15th century. You’ll explore models of traditional dwellings and villages, see sculptures and figurines thought to have spiritual importance, and view mummies from real funerary sites found on the island. The museum houses a large collection of skulls, bones, and full skeletons, which may not be suitable for small children.

How to get there

The Museo Canario is located in Old Town Las Palmas, also known as Vegueta, near the Santa Ana Cathedral and the Casa de Colón. Vegueta is about 3.2 miles (5 kilometers) southeast of central Las Palmas. Many streets in Vegueta are pedestrian-only, so parking can be difficult. Several bus lines from the harbor and tourist resorts provide service to the area.

When to get there

The museum is open daily, with reduced hours on Saturdays and Sundays. It's a popular tourist attraction and the small exhibition rooms can get crowded, so you may want to visit during off-peak times (such as weekday evenings).
