Very few artifacts on display inside a couple of small room, really not much to see, not well preserved, no organization. As soon as you arrive, there are a lot of local "tour guides" who are not actually licensed guides who swarm up to the car who then try to coerce money out of you however they can. They'll keep telling you that they need to split the money between them and they need to save the money, wants euros or US dollars instead of the local currency (ariary) so they can get more, and it's not easy to leave until you pay them A LOT more than what they should guide (based on what the hotel and local driver told me). The driver was scared to tell me that they were asking for too much since these fake local "guided" would get mad at him later. The whole country is full of people who try to trick, beg, or coerce money out of you. Beware. I won't be going back and will let my friends/family know not to visit. The lemurs are not worth with dealing with the humans there.

The Andafiavaratra Palace, located on the highest hilltop of the capital city of Antananarivo, was the residence of Prime Minister Rainilaiarivony of Madagascar, who governed the island kingdom in the late 19th century. The building currently serves as a museum and the estimated 1466 objects of historical importance to the Kingdom of Madagascar that were rescued from the 1995 fire at the Rova of Antananarivo are housed here

Really cool Malagasy building with informative displays and knowledgeable guide. 40,000 to get in. They said you need an official guide. He will look for a tip and a chance to guide you around the other palace past the post office up the hill. I used another guide for that to spread the tip money around.

Just few things inside the palace

The guides are ok but you have to pay for the palace and after the guided tour you have to give them something as well

Not really worth it

Well, the place has been restored and it's great to see it in real... Actually, it's like the palaces we see in movies... :-) and it's would be awesome to visit the rooms upstairs but it's not yet possible for now

too expensive (€5) to visit 4 very dusty rooms with no storage.

where are the penguins

Old palace used by priminister

The Palace interior was being renovated when I was there. There are a limited number of exhibits but they are made fascinating if you have the right guide. My guide was "Tahina" who expertly explained the artifacts in excellent english (he speaks 5 languages). The weirdest exhibit was a small diorama of monkeys dressed in victorian guide at a party to represent the Malagasy people. It was presented by Napoleon to the Malagasy people as some sort of joke but they kept it all this time. You are asked to give the guide something after the tour. I asked my guide if he could help arrange a car and driver. He ended being my guide on a 12 day trip through southern Madagascar and did a great job. Ask for Tahina as your guide. I had a different guide at the Queen's Palace and he wasn't half as good.

Museum

A few meters from the cathedral, easy and free access, unfortunately you cannot visit the interior. We found a guide who charged €5 and showed everything else, it's really worth having someone to guide 🫶🏽🇲🇬

Great

(Translated by Google) Yes, it leads the historical sites of Madagascar. What you need to be careful of there are people who come to help you and intend to take money, who can hurt you if you don't give. Even if you politely reject these people, you may find it difficult. Therefore, try to reach by walking without a car. (Original) Evet madagaskarın tarihi mekanlarının başını çekiyor. Orada dikkat etmeniz gereken şey size yardımcı olmaya gelen ve para koparmak niyetinde olan vermediğinizde de zarar verebilecek insanlar. Bu insanları kibarca reddettiğinizde dahi zorlanabilirsiniz. O nedenle arabasız yürüyerek ulaşmaya çalışın.

(Translated by Google) Only a small selection of pictures and objects. Explanation from the guide but okay (Original) Nur kleine Auswahl an Bilder und Gegenständen. Erklärung vom Guide aber okay
