Museo El Ceibo
Museos El Ceibo
The island’s best museum, with a rich collection of pre-Columbian pottery and burial urns, plus a gallery of Nicaraguan coins.
The museum lies at El Ceibo farm, about 7 km southeast of Moyogalpa. It has two sections: the pre-Columbian gallery and the coin gallery. The former holds more than a thousand excavated pieces of pottery, grinding stones and burial urns, while the latter displays Nicaraguan currency through the ages. Guided tours are available in English or Spanish. A combined ticket for both galleries costs about US$10, and a visit takes around 1.5 hours. You can stop by on a motorbike ride along the island’s ring road.
