    Quick tour. Tickets were $2! Tour guild led us through the small museum and then let us wander back through it as we wanted to read each of the descriptions and watch the video. Very informative. She also didn't push us to buy anything at the end. Quick way to kill some time and learn something new

    I've been the Santa Domingo many times and found this place recently down the street from my apart-hotel. It's a very nice little museum but a beautiful shaded center courtyard. There's a little spot to get drinks and relax as well as a very nice gift shop. The price is 100 pesos for $1 for adult kids are free. I cross-checked the prices of the things in the gift shop and they're priced fairly.

    The pieces are awesome, and the museum is well organized, informative and fun. Great place to learn a little more about the subject and see some wonderful things you will not see anywhere else.

    A very nice museum, that let's you go at your own pace. Great exhibits, good service, plus they have a very nice jewelry store, good prices too. This is certainly the top Amber museum in the whole world.

    It was a wonderful experience. I liked how they just left us to roam around on our own and enjoy the pieces at our own pace while learning about their story and history from the cards that are both in Spanish and English. It was amazing to see how they encrusted the amber in the house's architecture. And the jewels are just stunning.

    A small museum detailing the history behind amber, and the museums creation by a real amber enthusiast. All information is also available in English and Spanish - which is a big plus for tourists.

  • 4/5 EMS S. 1 month ago on Google • 121 reviews New
    A great little museum! The building it is in is beautiful and the collection is well laid out. 100 DOP to get in so very reasonable. Plus it's right in the colonial section so close to everything! We spent an hour in there.

  • 5/5 Lourdes M. 2 years ago on Google
    I went on Saturday, August 7/2021 at 2:00 p.m. The saleswoman was excellent. She provided interesting information about the ambar and the laminar stone. She was very patient as well. She even escorted me to the car with her umbrella as it was raining a lot. Great experience! I recommend 100 % the service and the merchandise.

  • 4/5 Eladio Jimenez M. 2 years ago on Google
    Love the place. Only thing was that we were first told there would be a guide and when it didn't happen then they told us that because of covid they do not have guides working.

  • 5/5 mukilteomarjhan 2 years ago on Google
    Although some lighting issues, very intriguing presentation on amber and the things that get caught in it. I learned more about ants than amber while touring the facility. Makes me want to go digging for amber. Not signed well outside, we parked 20 feet away and walked around the entire block before finding it.

  • 5/5 Sarah C. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely museum and lovely tour guide! The tour is short and then you have time to explore on your own. Only $2 USD to enter. The gift shop is also ver nice and the service is exceptional. There is also a beautiful cafe in the back courtyard.

    (Translated by Google) Yesterday I went to the museum store to look for some larimar jewels and I loved the attention that my mother and Miriam received from Miriam and Maria, very kind and recommended to go. He has very good Covid protocol, with his masks and hand gel when entering. The patio of the place is incredible, very good atmosphere, cool and quiet. I want to visit the Museum again.

  • 5/5 Grace S. 3 years ago on Google
    Beautiful hidden gem in the Colonial Zone of Santo Domingo. MUST SEE. The museum portion is a quick trip through the history of how amber is extracted and made into beautiful jewels. Their craftsmanship is uniquely exquisite and custom made; no two pieces of jewelry are the same. My family and I have been coming here for over 20 years religiously and always take a few pieces and sets of amber and larimar back to the States with us as gifts. Highly recommended.
