This was a life changing experience. I have visited many museums and this by far was the most personal eye opening museum I have ever been to. 1. This is the true history of Minca and allows you to get an in depth understanding of how Minca started to today. 2. It is so well researched, I was truely blown away. 3. There was such passion for the history of this region Please visit. It will truly open your eyes on what shaped Minca into what it is today.

We absolutely loved the museum. You'll learn about the history of Minca, starting with the indigenous people over coffee, marijuana, guerrillas, and paramilitaries. It's an interesting story and you definitely miss out on the rich history of the area if you don't visit the museum. Also, we liked the story-telling approach which is quite unique. It's donation based and you are giving for a really good cause. Keep up the great work you do in making the stories accessible to a wider audience, Shannon and Manuel!

This is one of the best “museums” we have visited throughout our 6-weeks of travel through Colombia . This passionate couple is just great and shares excellent insights how the city of Minca has changed in such a short time frame. Thank you very much for conserving the history and ensuring that we can learn more about this beautiful country :-) To everyone visiting Minca: please make sure to stop by to learn more about the country you are visiting and to support this place as well as local projects to conserve a local experience!!

Very interesting place about the history of Minca, the indigenous groups and coffee!

The museum itself is just two rooms with pictures on the walls, but the tour Shannon gave us was an extremely interesting and captivating story of the varied and at times surprisingly bloody history of Minca. Hugely recommended to learn something about the place that goes beyond the touristy facade. Free but they ask for a donation (which flows back into the community).

Strongly recommend. This was one of the best, and definitely the most important thing we did in Minca. This place is a labor of love, run by an American and a Colombian who have taken it upon themselves to do an insane amount of research and conduct extensive interviews with local residents. It’s a humble place, but on our visit, Shannon (the American co-founder) lit up the room telling us very moving stories about the history of the area and the local indigenous groups. It’s more of a storytelling project than a traditional museum. Minca has a riveting and deeply troubling history and it’s absolutely essential to understand it if you’re visiting here as a foreigner. Otherwise you will leave with a simplistic - even misinformed - understanding of Minca. Make visiting the Museo a priority.

Absolutely incredible! I've been to a few history museums during my time in Colombia and I can say that this, hands down, has been the most stunning one so far. Shannon was a great guide and told us incredible stories of everything the village has been through. This should be on everyone's list of things to do in Minca!!

Must do in Minca! The most interesting and insightful piece of history I got in Colombia. Shannon shared so much information about the local community, its history, and the effect of the upcoming tourism. Must visit if you want to understand more about the country you are visiting.
