El Museo Canario
Archaeological museum in Vegueta with the largest collection on the pre-Hispanic Guanche culture of the Canaries.
Founded in 1879 in the historic Vegueta district, El Museo Canario holds the archipelago's largest archaeological collection on the ancient islanders. Ceramics, idols, tools and a remarkable series of Guanche mummies and skulls make up its displays.
The Verneau Room, with its striking assembly of human remains, is one of its most memorable spaces. Its closeness to the cathedral and Plaza de Santa Ana lets you combine the visit with a stroll through the city's old quarter.
