Provides nice background to the culture of the island. Admission is free and they don't even ask for a donation so it is definitely great value.

The building is modern, as are the displays. They are very complete and included information about pre-ceramic residents that we found nowhere else. And free besides! Amazing!

The building was renovated to preserve the original exterior architecture while creating a great facility to house the museum. We learned a lot more about the history of Aruba during our visit. Admission is free.

Pleasant afternoon excursion to the National Archaeological Museum. It is located in a historic building, in the downtown area, a couple of blocks off the main street. Lots of information was contained in this little gem, a worthwhile excursion!

We had a hard time finding it, but spent a pleasant hour browsing the exhibits. The integration of the modern building into the historic site was well done.

This museum is newly relocated. It is downtown just 2 blocks behind the Renaissance and on the new trolley line. It is air-conditioned, modern in design, has hands-on exhibits appropriate for adults and children and in a restored former residence. Very well done with lots of information on the history of this island. An hour work spending. There is no admission charge.

My husband and I love exploring museums when we travel, including cruising. One cruise stop was in Oranjestad Aruba. A quick ask about local museums brought us to the National Archaeological Museum. This is a priceless little museum a quick walk from the cruise ship docks or you can take the tram. Probably no more than a half mile walk. BE AWARE--it is not on a main street so it can be tricky to find it especially if you rely on those notoriously inaccurate Tourist Info maps! But once you find it, it is SOOO worth it! We are talking real archeology here. The cost to enter the museum is free. The exhibits are beautifully presented. The information geared for serious history buffs like ourselves, the causal museum visitor as well as children as there are special interactive exhibits. Expect to spend a minimum of 30 min (fast walk through tour) to an hour and a half (reading each exhibit). It is not a large museum but the artifacts and information presented is wonderful! We really learned a lot so for us it was priceless to learn about this Caribbean Island's history before Columbus.

This is a very small museum, worth your time, but don't plan to spend the afternoon. There are some picnic tables and there is a public restroom. A really nice feature is a fountain to get cold water for filling your own bottles.

Wonderful new museum building and entry is free! Learn about the history and people of Aruba - it enriches every other experience on the island. Four stars only because the second floor was 90 degrees and we couldn't stay up there long enough to view everything. We'll return next time!
