  • Review this attraction
  • Part of the Modernist Plaza de la Cultura complex, the collection covers everything from Taino life to the US occupation, with an emphasis on struggles with Haiti. The most fascinating section deals with the excesses of the Trujillo period, including a bullet-riddled car, removed from the scene of his assassination.

Practical Information
Plaza de la Cultura Santo Domingo Open 10am–5pm Tue–Sun Adm
