Museo Etnografico Tanit — Attraction in San Bartolomé

I don't understand how this can have such a high review number. I think it is not a recommended place.

We thought it was closed because the only person working in the museum was at the store instead of at the ticket entrance. We were not the only one thinking that, as we were leaving, some people asked us if it was open.

The museum building-house is nice. The collection is a mix of things from what it seems someone has been collecting for years. It feels like there is no real care on how things are showing, it is full of dust everywhere, often quite strong not nice smells, and often a mix of old and new things all together.

It is sad because they could make it much better if they would put care and someone who knows...

Externally, the building seems to blend in with its surroundings. But once in the gate, it is unique. Now enter.

Each room of this home-turned-ethnological museum deserves a close appreciation. Such appreciation cannot be done in one day. Each one is chock full of well displayed items for the observer's contemplation.

The family's private life is also tsstefully chronicled and preserved. My wife and I regretted that we could not spend more time at the Tanit

This is a small and low-key museum of local history - it's one of those museums that just has random old "stuff". One of the attractions is the building it's in, which is a large old building, with nice courtyards and gardens. There's not that much information in Spanish, but there's an English language guidebook (free to borrow) that tells you about the highlights. Currently 6 euros which is maybe a tiny bit more than I wanted to pay but I still had...
