As a good archaeologist and historian, I am passionate about museums and this one did not disappoint me, on the contrary I loved it. Very educational, understandable especially if you are not from the town, as is my case. Perhaps a recommendation could be to put a comparative chronology table to know what was happening in the town of Barranquilla and Colombia with the rest of America and to have a greater comparative framework.

(Translated by Google) The MAPUKA museum is the result of the commitment acquired by the Universidad del Norte for four decades, in the research, conservation and dissemination of the archaeological heritage of the Caribbean region. The archaeological collection that houses the museum and its reserve area, to a large extent, is the result of the pioneering research work carried out by the archaeologist Carlos Angulo Valdés in the department of Atlántico for almost five decades.

It is a small museum, but enough information about the old history of Barranquilla

Small and quiet but great museum! It consists of one room filled with artefacts from many cultures of past Colombia. It's located inside the Universidad del Norte. You may be asked for your passport to enter the campus. I spent almost an hour on my own there. There was no entrance fees.

Wonderful, the guidance by Omar Barboza makes this experience unique

Because they were closed at least 60 minutes before closing time without any explanation or the courtesy of a note on the door explaining wht they closed early. Very discourteous. We drove 40 minutes in heavy traffico for me to see the museum while my wife attended a poetry reading in Spanish scheduled for 4:30 pm on 1st floor.

Beautiful pieces and great stories from the Guide. I learned a lot.

Absolutely fantastic. A little small though

This museum has incredible pieces that are greatly preserved. The guide was amazing. It is good to know that they close for lunch although it does not show in the Google site
