Museo Canario

An archaeological museum in Gran Canaria

The Museo Canario in the capital city Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in northeast Gran Canaria hosts a large collection of prehistoric artifacts from the whole Canarian archipelago. These are displayed in a series of exhibition rooms and are fascinating for anyone curious about the history of the Canary Islands. The collection of mummies and skeletons is of particular interest and are the most photographed exhibits (no flash allowed). Enter the mummy room and you feel like you are in an old-fashioned laboratory.

Sustainability

- Do not take photos using the flash. They could damage items of artistic and cultural value.
- Use the waste- paper baskets and, insofar as possible, separate and place your recycling waste in the appropriate containers. Do not eat inside exhibition rooms.
- Try to be careful with your rucksack or bag and make sure you do not hit anything when you move.
- Try to be silent or speak quietly so that you do not bother other visitors.
