Nice and clean but the staff will not allow you to take pictures of anything inside the museum.

Was not destroyed in 2010 earthquake!
A large number of historians believe Haiti was the first place Columbus landed in the Americas. The museum covers more than the slave revolution and does an excellent job tracing the history of the Taínos and Taino artifacts, There is a section of the museum which shows the brutal life of a slave with original chains. What sets this museum as a gem in the Caribbean is the display of the original anchor of the Caravel of Christopher Columbus, the Santa Maria measuring 4 meters high. A MUST SEE in the history of the Americas!!!response / report this review -

The National Museum houses information and artifacts covering the history of Haiti from the time of the Arawak and Taino Indians until the 1940s.[2] There are murals showing the treatment of the Indians by the Spaniards and the treatment of African slaves by the French. There are also artifacts relating to the emperors of Haiti, including the pistol with which King Henri Christophe committed suicide

Learned quite a bit of history here. The restaurant was closed for renovations. There's a nice garden area in the back for pictures. If you don't speak French or kreyol, be sure to ask for a tour guide to walk you through the museum. And of course, no photos allowed inside.

This museum has some astonishing artifacts (the anchor from the Santa Maria!) and with a well spoken and friendly tour guide, I highly recommend this museum. The building is nice and cool too, so if you're looking for a spot to cool down and still enjoy Haiti this is the place to go :)

We were not allowed to take photos inside the museum. This museum is located on Champs de Mars, a public place in the heart of the capital city of Haiti, Port-au-Prince.
A lot of things have changed since the last time I've been here.
- No smoking permitted.
- No eating and no drinking.
- No photos 📷 allowed.
- Museum staff on premise deterring visitors from taking pictures.
- No actual parking.
But there's enough parking space if you've rented a car 🚗 to visit around.
- Artifacts, paintings, and other historic arts are on exhibition.
I would recommend this museum to anyone.response / report this review -

The museum is nice. It has a good collection of artifacts and paintings. Unfortunately you cannot take any photos inside. If you visit make sure to go around the garden and perhaps visit the restaurant in the back garden.

Great museum and overview of Haitian history. I did not do a tour but tours are available. Heads up, exhibit descriptions are not in English. But you will find artifacts from the Taino, Haitian revolution and the anchor from the Santa Maria. Fountains above museum are beautiful and gardens can be found on opposite side. Entry fee is very reasonable. Staff very friendly.

The museum is a little slice of history and it really shows how proud they are of their culture. I enjoyed the museum as well as the water pools on top!
