Located near the lake of Managua, it's the best museum in Nicaragua. C$20 for local and C$ 80 for others. The building is great from the outside and contains lots of collections. The museum shows the history and culture of Nicaragua beginning from the precolumbia ages....lot's of pottery and history. Although it's the best, still a lot to improve. Worth... More

And the site outside is also very nice with the old colonial... More

the wether is so nice. Do not forget to add American food in the menu. Should be good idea to put more hamaca close to the beach

Ruben Dario, always a treasure, has great visibility in the museum - do visit his home in Leon, for greater understanding. My personal favorite wing is the fine arts, where two... More

Any traveler in Managua must visit at least one time this historic building. It has been an iconic site of the political history of the Republic of Nicaragua since a lot of years ago and several administrations.

I really liked this place. It is a cool old damp building, mostly open air. But houses some really interesting bits of Nicaraguan history. Some amazingly old. Beautiful pottery. My Spanish is, uh, developing. My guide, who just appeared, only spoke Spanish. Required him to act out part of their history. He was a great sport. I really enjoyed the... More

An interesting time - you need about 2 hours - I rushed through in 20 minutes. The English speaking guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and gracious. Cost is very reasonable.
