Museo del Hombre Dominicano, Anthropology museum in Plaza de la Cultura, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic

The museum exhibits halls contain archaeological artifacts, indigenous tools, and cultural objects representing the development of Dominican civilization through multiple floors.

Founded in October 1973 during President Balaguer's administration, the museum building was designed by architect Jose Antonio Caro Alvarez to preserve Dominican heritage.

The museum displays extensive collections of Taino artifacts, African heritage items, and Spanish colonial period pieces that demonstrate the formation of Dominican identity.

Visitors can explore the museum from Tuesday through Sunday between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM, with guided tours available through different exhibition levels.
