This compact museum was a phenominal way to learn precolumbian history directly from the descendents of the first Caribbean people. The signage balanced a global perspective with personal stories, allowing visitors to understand the facts without getting bogged down by a barrage of details. Spanish language signage was written at about a sixth grade reading level with the exception of some technical terms. (Fortunately for me, most of these were derived from Greek and Latin roots with cognates in English.) No audio tour in Spanish or another language was available; my eyes became tired from so much reading. The modern building was fully wheelchair accessibility, although like many museums, the galleries could have used more seating. The first floor was well lit, while the second floor was dark for ambiance. The second floor included imagery of bloodless human sacrifice and ritualist cohoba inhalation, which may bother some visitors. Tickets prices were RD$100 (US$1.75) for adults and RD$20 (US$0.35) for students, once again an amazing bargain for so much history. While the scope of this musuem was super specific and may not be for everyone, I believe this was best location in the world to discover the full spectrum of early...

Museo del Hombre Dominicano es un museo situado en Santo Domingo, República Dominicana, que está constituido por diferentes salas de exposición, el cual en su conjunto ha logrado la mayor colección de objetos y reliquias de los habitantes taínos a nivel del Caribe, especialmente de la isla La Española. Ubicado en la Plaza de la Cultura, fue fundado el 12 de octubre de 1973 y diseñado por el arquitecto José Antonio Caro Álvarez, durante el gobierno de Joaquín Balaguer

museo del Hombre Dominicano está compuesto por diferentes salas que exponen los restos de figuras precolombinas, se reproducen los ambientes y métodos de vidas de los taínos, además, contienen documentos y relatos propiedad del gobierno dominicano y de importantes arqueólogos de la República Dominicana. En su entrada se encuentran las estatuas de Bartolomé de las Casas, Enriquillo y Lemba.[2]​[3]​

1.er Piso: Se encuentra la Sala de los Monolitos Doctor Narciso Alberti Bosch, dedicada a la memoria del que fue pionero de la espeleología, arqueología y arte rupestre. También se encuentra la sala de exposiciones temporales.[4]​

2.er Piso: Las salas del Peleoindio, Mesoindio, Neoindio, Precolombino, las salas de Cerámicas, de los métodos de vida de los taínos y los objetos del siglo XV.[5]​

3.º Piso: Diversos testimonios de las fases del descubrimiento, datos sobre el gobierno, religión y aspectos de la vida; estudios sobre las rutas de los esclavos, los trabajos, los castigos y sobre los ritos Vudú. Gran muestra de trajes del carnaval Dominicano, y unas de las colecciones más antiguas de caretas del carnaval dominicano de Fradique...

It's a beautiful building, in a lovely park, and there are three full levels but there aren't many things to see.

On the third floor is a very nice exhibit of pottery and religious artifacts and on the first floor there are a few things from the slave trade. But most often there are just pictures of things and things to read.

Though I will say the the statue in the alcove by the elevator is really good; really a poignant piece of art, with great emotion. They should have that in a much more prominent place than it is,...

Pensé que sólo era en mi casa que se iba la luz, pero ya veo que estaba equivocado. No hay luz, no hay aire acondicionado, no hay guías... lo único que ví fue polvo en los cristales, y en las paredes. Los letreros casi todos se han caído, todo descuidado... todo sucio, y cuentan con un personal muy mal educado. De verdad este museo tiene algunas cosas emblemáticas de la cultura Taína y Dominicana, pero la forma en la que la presentan da pena. Este museo está destinado a ser la atracción número uno de esta ciudad, y sin embargo es el peor.... el museo de historia natural sí parece un museo, y cuenta menos cosas que este museo .... Llevé a mi mujer a ver este museo, y lo primero que nos sorprendió fueron las atenciones del personal de este museo, hablan de manera agresiva, desde las 4:00 comienzan a decirle a los visitantes que cierran a las 4:50, y comienzan a cerrar puertas y ventanas, pagué el dinero, y me sentí como que me estaban botando, aún siendo las 4:17 pm, algo ilegal porque se supone que el museo cierra a las 5:00pm. Espero ellos algun día visiten el museo de historia natural y vean las condiciones de ese lugar, para que vean la forma en que deben presentar esos objetos... Las esculturas emblemáticas de la cultura taína están a oscuras y no son señaladas como figuras principales de la cultura Taína .... abajo dejo una foto de un museo de puerto rico, donde sí presentan las esculturas de manera organizada
