Museo Canario
Gran Canaria
El Museo Canario se encuentra en la ciudad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, en el histórico barrio de Vegueta. Esta institución científica y cultural fue fundada en el año 1879 por iniciativa del intelectual Dr. Gregorio Chil y Naranjo.
Esta institución científica y cultural fue fundada en 1879, aquí se conservan, estudian y exhiben colecciones de materiales arqueológicos y etnográficos y creaciones artísticas, junto con una Biblioteca y Archivo especializado en temas canarios y acoge una rica exposición de la cultura prehispánica y documental de la isla de Gran Canaria y de toda Canarias.
En un principio el Museo contó con las colecciones y objetos donados por el Dr. Chil y otros fundadores y amigos de la sociedad, pero fueron aumentados mediante dos fórmulas: excursiones arqueológicas y recepción de donativos y adquisición de objetos. A partir de 1944 el Museo se incorpora al Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, y desde 1984 moderniza y especializa su contenido centrándose preferentemente en los fondos arqueológicos de las culturas prehispánicas de Canarias.
