Discovered this museum and it was a nice treat to see the history of the region. The museum is laid out nicely with descriptions in Spanish and sometimes English with a small outdoor area. They have a gift shop but it was closed when we visited.

I recently visited the anthropology museum for the 3rd time. There is always something new to see, and it's hard to see everything in one visit.

A very pleasant surprise! This museum is a real jewel in San Salvador. You have a very interesting collection of precolombian artifacts as well as colonial period. Most of the explanations are in spanish and english. Also very interesting the room dedicated to the development of agriculture. Very touching the part dedicated to the civil war. A special thanks to the free guide Adelina who proved to be very professional and prepared on the history of El Salvador. Besides, being a disabled person I really appreciated the barrier-free museum. The only negative point the absence of books about the museum. In any case thumbs up!…

Great museum with a good explanation of the history of the region, in Spanish and English. Upstairs there are rooms devoted to crafts, religion, burial practices, etc. Very informative. Especially like the English explanations, so you don’t need a guide. Three dollar entry fee for foreigners. Good way to spend two to three hours.…
