Inside the museum is so hot it's unenjoyable. This museum needs to invest in air conditioning or fans. We saw ac units but not one room has ac running. Wouldn't recommend it if you get hot easily or can't handle stale air. There is absolutely no air circulation in the rooms and it's miserable. Admission is $5 USD they do take USD currency. Parking was free in the parking lot for the park.

We were visiting/on a scale in Managua after a long overland journey from Tegucigalpa. We walked from the hotel and found a big surprise to see this impressive building, which with the Cathedral, evokes a glorious past. It is currently home to the National Museum, with a modest exhibition of pre-Columbian history and cultural groups in Nicaragua. Admission is only paid in cash and the lady at the entrance is extremely friendly. Estábamos de visita/escala en Managua luego de un viaje largo por tierra desde Tegucigalpa. Fuimos caminando desde el hotel y nos encontramos una gran sorpresa al ver este impresionante edificio, que junto a la Catedral, evoca un pasado glorioso. Actualmente es sede del Museo Nacional, con una modesta exposición de historia precolombina y de grupos culturales de Nicaragua. La entrada solo se paga en efectivo y la señora de la entrada es extremaaaadamente amable.

¡Me encantó! Una lástima que cuando fui tenían prohibido el ingreso al segundo piso por motivos propios, pero la primera planta te deja igual maravillado. Mi parte favorita fue la de las pinturas y artes, creo que incluso es la más llena en cuanto a cosas que apreciar, pero las partes de las lanzas y vasijas de nuestros antepasados estuvo asombrosa. Es un lugar bastante limpio, sin ninguna molestia, tienen dos jardines bonitos, ¡me encantó el hecho de que en ellos están plantados la flor de sacuanjoche! ♥️ El único motivo por el que le quito una estrella es porque, a mí parecer, tienen una mala ventilación, se siente un calor horrible en alguna de las salas (a excepción de la de artes, que no sé por qué se siente fresca). Dejando todo atrás, ¡volveré pronto! ☺️🫡

Excellent museum, surely the best in the country. Entry $5 for everyone (international, student, national, etc). Very knowledgeable staff who taught me so much. Great archaeological artifacts and also a great art collection. It's the national art museum too. And they even have one of the footprints from 6000bc that you can't see at the archaeological museum in Acahualinca (the Huellas) since it's closed. This is a must visit...

I came here on Mother's Day during the late morning and the museum was practically empty. Admission is only $5 and I ended up with an extremely knowledgeable employee who took me on a 90-min. guided tour of all the exhibits on the first floor. The museum focuses on pre-Colombian Nicaragua and art by contemporary Nicaraguan artists. Overall, it was time well spent and I really enjoyed...

The Palace of Culture is a neoclassical building located in Managua, capital of Nicaragua, in front of the southern side of the Republic Square or Revolution Square. It has basements and 3 floors. Its original name was National Palace. Until 1979 it hosted the National Congress, composed of the chambers of the Senate and deputies. Now it is a museum, newspaper library and...
