Museo Canario

Monument · Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Gran Canaria - Área Metropolitana, Las Palmas

Founded in 1879 by the physician and historian Gregorio Chil y Naranjo (a native of Telde) together with Agustín Millares Torres, it opened its first galleries in 1880 and moved in 1923 to the house in Vegueta bequeathed by Chil. It preserves the largest collection of mummies, skulls and artifacts of the aboriginal Canarian culture that exists.
