    The museum is interesting for those interested, but it didn't particularly impress me. I found it rather depressing. At the beginning there is a film in Spanish that explains origins. This is followed by oval images, so-called medallions. After more pictures and church vestments, it turns to the story, which has a typo in the English translation. Accordingly, the construction of the basilica began before it was put out to tender in international competition. That no one has noticed this yet??? Well, before and after that comes the church silver and church gold. Don't ask to take photos. Entrance fee was 3 USD = 150 DOP. The attached one is on the right around the corner from the entrance to the museum. If helpful click helpful.

    (Translated by Google) More than enough to support the devotion to Our Lady of La Altagracia. Perhaps it would be good to visit it before entering the basilica (Original) Más que suficiente para fundamentar la devoción a Nuestra Señora de La Altagracia. Tal vez fuese bueno visitarlo antes de entrar en la basilica

    Colorful. Lots of history. Couldn't take pictures inside since it was not allowed. Surrounding area is magnificent since the Basilica was within same premises. Lots of symmetrically palm trees.

    The museum staff was very kind and attentive. Small collection houses a painting of a Gavillero fleeing a US troop during the American inaction of the Dominican Republic in the 1900’s

    (Translated by Google) It is the best of the entire tour, it is a mandatory stop for those who visit the basilica, since within it the experience of visiting the church is enhanced by its quality, history and exhibited pieces which will touch your heart. An excellent staff with a knowledge of the history of each exhibited piece that will leave you in no doubt of its meaning or origin.

    It is a very complete historical and sacred art museum, and it is also inside the basilica so you can make a double visit to learn about and soak up our religious history that is part of the culture of our country.
