Full description
Founded in 1941, the Museo de América gathers artifacts from the Americas from prehistory through the colonial era. Visitors come across Mayan, Aztec and Andean pieces, with reviewers singling out the gold objects and the quipu, the Inca knotted-cord record.
The displays are described as clearly and systematically arranged, and the surrounding setting in Moncloa offers a pleasant place to relax afterwards. Entry is inexpensive and sometimes free, no booking is needed, and around 75 minutes is enough.
Saturday hours end at 15:00 and Mondays are closed.
