Great way to learn more Aruba history
We spent time checking out the Archaeological Museum. IT was a great way to learn more about Aruba's history and connect with the island. Part of the museum was under construction so I'll be interested to see what's changed the next time we return.

A Great Overview of the Arawak People
We had been trying to visit this museum for 2 years! According to the curator of the Museum of Industry it was closed due to a serious issue with their AC. Finally this year it was open. The admission was free which was great. It’s not huge but does a fine job telling the story of the Arawak people. However it didn’t feel as Aruba centric as some of the other museums we visited. This was more of an overview of the indigenous people of the caribbean and south america. Overall though, it was very good and great way to kill some time if you need a break from the beach.
