Archaeological Museum
Amerindian culture and history are on display in this
museum that pays homage to the island’s first inhabitants.
Housed in the former residence of the local Ecury family,
over 10,000 Amerindian artifacts from several periods are
part of its collection. You win gain a deep insight into their
life which is made possible by the work of the museum’s
staff which conducts research and excavations to find and
preserve that important aspect of Aruba’s history.
