加勒比博物馆

It is probably my fault I did not enjoy this museum more because I don't speak Spanish. They do have some English guides that talked us through lots of the stuff and were very friendly. However, there was a movie about animation that I couldn't understand at all. So, it was nice to walk through, but if you don't speak Spanish, you may want to skip this one!

Modern and displays are very well presented. Covers categories such as Colombia's ecosystem, people, music, traditions, etc.

This museum is a very nice project that brings out the culture and traditions from the Colombian coast. Good cultural option for foreign visitors!

We arrived late, but were able to get through the entire museum tour. It's a 6 story museum and each floor has a theme. There was a guide on each floor walking you through it, explaining certain things and letting us go and explore. I learned a lot and enjoyed the tour.** A little treat was that a group of kids were outside practicing dance for Carnaval.

This museum is really cool. My costarican relatives enjoyed it so much and I, as a local who have been away from his hometown for years, it brought a lot of memories of my early years in Barranquilla and the northern colombian coast.

if you want to learn about barranquilla and the region , this can be a good places, it is not a funny place !!! boring

Museo of Caribe. Unless you speak Spanish fluently you can probably skip this. The museum costs 11k Peso, it has 5 floors with stuff that can probably all fit on 1 floor inside of a KFC. They got bunch (4-6) of watch and learn kind of things, a room with old photos of writers, some photos of some family that moved to Colombia from Europe, bunch of tools ranging from sharpened sticks, to chisels, and to an old microscope all lined up on the wall, there is a tipi made of Palm leaves, and a room where you sit on a floor and watch a video of natives singing. That's literally it. I'm sure it's full of meaningful to Colombianos history but I found it underwheling.

If the Museo Nacional and Museo del Oro are places you must visit while in Bogotá, this would be the equivalent in Barranquilla.When my wife and I decided to go to the Museo del Caribe we weren't really sure what to expect, but we were pleasantly surprised by what we found.The museum provides a perfect depiction of colombian Caribbean culture in all its splendour and colour. It also allows you to become acquainted with the nuances and subtle differences of the different "sub cultures" in the region.We enjoyed the interactive displays and at times felt taken away to a Gabo novel.All in all, it was a very enjoyable experience, which I would have no problem recommending to anyone visiting Barranquilla.

In my travel guide this was given top marks, so I expected a lot. However there is nothing to see. Even the Gabo room is incredibly boring. Just a few old typewriters and photos. Most of the displays are just computer images. There is nothing authentic here at all. Even the display of artefacts had telephones (??) One of the worst museums I have ever been to.

Considering the standard of the cultural attractions of the city it's nice but I expected something more than pictures and short movies. There could be more crafts and art for example.

Accept for some artifacts, not much is behind glass but most of it you see on video on screens or wall. This makes it a lively experience. There is a special room dedicated to Gabriel Garcia Marquez, the Colombian writer and Nobelprize winner. The souvenir shop has minimum to offer. A coffeeshop offers drink and snacks.

It uses several methods to tell stories of the region, for young and old visitors. Covers geography, history, ethnology and even has a room devoted to writer Gabrial Garcia Marquez.I don't think much info was posted in English.

I loved the presentation about the famous writer Gabriel Garcia Marquez, wished my Spanish was better so I could understand more. Generally great museum but all in Spanish.

a place to learn about caribbean culture, the garcia marquez exhibit is great, spanish and englishe guidance is available!!

Certainly for those who understand Spanish and are interested in Colombian Caribbean culture. Very beautiful and entertaining with loads of history, documentaries, music, and much more! A must see for all visitors!
