This was my 2nd time going to the museum. I got there the first time with who is now my husband and later with my dad and niece. The museum is really nice. It has a huge selection of indigenous things. My niece also had a great time although she would get anxious and wanted to leave the floors after 15 minutes of been there. My dad really enjoyed it a lot. He said he will go any other day by himself so he can spend the time reading everything and watching all the videos that the museum offers. This place is fantastic. It has a private parking and also easy way to get there using public transportation. Oh I almost forgot. I also saw a group that was been toured by a guide in English. So if you don't speak Spanish there are guides that will teach you in English

Definitely worth seeing (in a bit of a sketchy area), lots of interesting knowledge of the region, some staff speaks English (to some degree, but they really give their best), majority of the recordings is in Spanish (if you don't speak Spanish, audio set is strongly advised) Overall a nice place to visit!
I imagined it was going to be a bigger museum, with more artifacts, more indigenous things, etc. There are many videos to watch, which I can watch on "History Channel". The museum is very dark, the stairs don't have enough light, don't have a yellow stripe to see clearly where they start. The best thing about the museum was the 1st floor where there is a musical presentation with various musical instruments. All signs are Spanish which means that foreigners must go with a guide. The museum did not meet my expectations
I specially enjoyed the 5 different rooms, each one embracing a sphere of the Colombian Caribbean heritage and culture: Nature, People, Words, Actions, and Expressions. Too bad the Gabriel Garcia Marquez room wasn't available during this visit will definitely come back to check it out. I deeply enjoyed the musical representation of all Caribbean rythms and dances.
Nice and interesting museum, but difficult to understand without knowledge of Spanish. There is no English translation. Take a sweater with you, it's cold inside the museum :-) The entrance fee is 14k pesos.
It’s hard to give it a fair rating as it is closed until March 2020. Our taxi driver told us several other museums would be closed but not this one... Also the Modern Art gallery next door is still being built - at least a year away from completion looking at it. You are in the “dodgy” end of town and we have visited this area several times and everybody is constantly telling you to be careful.
We were disappointed when we found out that there was nothing in English. No one in the counter told us this even tough we clearly didn't speak Spanish. It's a pity as it's one of the most popular sightseeings in Barranquilla. They didn't accept credit card which is a bit strange in the world nowadays. The music video show in the first floor was entertaining and all we got from this museum.
Amazing place to understand the diversity of the Caribbean coast. I recommend to spend more time at the ‘gente’ floor, it’s worth it to spend some extra time there.
