3 euros for the entry, no need to wait, very interesting exhibition, good place to stay in such a hot summer.
The museum which depicts the past traces of Spain and Iberian peninsula
Interesting, but quite limited as exhibits. Also with an incomplete representation of the regions of the globe, even the continents. I expected much more than ethnographic exhibits, to better understand anthropology.
This is a nice small museum celebrating culture, religion and life worlds in Asia, Africa and the Americas, and how they were affected during European occupation. There are some really interesting artefacts - I liked the musical instruments, textiles and models of gods and religious figures. This part of Spanish history isn't often covered extensively in other museums - history buffs will definitely enjoy it.
Well curated and interesting museum featuring exhibitions from three different continents. In each exhibit case different topical items are displayed alongside a text box, which contains additional information about some of the items and their use and history. The experience in the museum was very good, however, I initially thought the museum would be much larger and was slightly disappointed that it only took about an hour to see everything. Also, the entry is free for students.
Nice museum spread over three floors with friendly staff and just a €3 entry fee. Nicely laid out but the content is quite basic. The exhibits are just informative generally. This is a high school level exhibition really but good enough to pass away an hour or so.
I arrived this morning right at about 11am and was let in free. But the cost of €3 (read in another review below) is will worth your time to see the exhibits on display here.
Wow! Spain has definitely made their historical mark on the world. Ground floor is Asia (mostly Philippines). First floor is Africa. Second floor is Americas. This museum is a great reminder how much influence Spain has had throughout the years of history following their glory years of exploration and colonization.
You can probably get through this museum within an hour if you really rush. Two hours is more appropriate to see and appreciate everything. I went through in about 90 minutes or so and really feel enlightened by everything I saw and read.
I snapped some pictures, but they don't really do justice, so make sure you go if you can carve out time. It's well worth it.
