We enjoyed our visit to this museum as it allowed us to learn more about the independence movement and the martyrs. There are different stages where different parts of history are remembered, and the lives of a few individuals are explained. It should take you about an hour to finish the visit. The staff usually gathers a group of people to walk...

El “Museo de Arte e Historia Alberto Mena Caamaño” fue creado el 28 de mayo de 1957 a partir del fondo donado por Alberto Mena Caamaño. En 1970 el museo integró a la exposición permanente una sala sobre la masacre del 2 de Agosto de 1810. Esta escena fue realizada en cera por el artista Alexander Barbieri, quien tomó como modelo un cuadro pintado a inicios del siglo XX por César Villacrés titulado “El Sacrificio de Quiroga”. A partir de entonces este espacio ha sido popularmente conocido como “Museo de Cera”. Actualmente el Museo Alberto Mena Caamaño cuenta con una exposición permanente que se titula “De Quito al Ecuador (1736 – 1835)”, 4 salas de exposición temporal, un espacio lúdico – educativo, el auditorio “Hugo Alemán” y una variada oferta educativa y cultural para el disfrute de...

PRECIOSO, MI RECOMENDACIÓN ES SIEMPRE VAYAN CON GUÍA, DEBIDO A QUE LE EXPERIENCIA VA A SER MÁS COMPLETA. EL GUÍA NO TIENE COSTO.

Excente museo super interesante, muy limpio, mantienen las estrictas medidas de bioseguridad, es fascinante y sobre todo la dama guía que con una capacidad excepcional del conocimiento de la historia va narrando los sucesos de manera muy comprensiva, contesta todas las inquietudes que se presentaron y te hace interactuar... Es fantástico... Se debe agendar tu visita através de llamada telefónica... En mi caso debí llamar a la operadora del I. Municipio Metropolitano de Quito por varias veces hasta que al fin tuve la suerte de que me conectarán y poder hacer la cita... Pero todo ése impase fue compensado con la VISITA GUIADA AL MUSEO. La visita guiada toma aprox. 02:00h SUUPER RECOMENDABLE VISITARLO... FANTÁSTICO EXCELENTE Y EXCEPCIONAL...!!!
