Insights into Pre-conquest Canarios Life

Exhibits and Displays at Mundo Aborigen
Spanning an area of around 110,000 m², the museum showcases scenes from the everyday life of the island's early inhabitants. These scenes are depicted in faithfully reconstructed buildings, complete with more than 100 life-sized figures and, in some cases, living animals.

The museum's exhibits include plastic representations, some of which are enhanced with acoustic effects. These cover a range of topics, including agriculture and livestock, sports, crafts, medicine, judiciary, and execution methods of the old Canarians, offering a comprehensive view of their way of life.
