Site museum that includes the remains of a pre-Hispanic settlement around the Cueva Pintada, the best preserved example of indigenous mural painting in Gran Canaria
The museum project has wanted to go beyond the mere visit to an archaeological site and, as an innovative element, transforms this pre-Hispanic town into the main museum room. The fundamental objective of the project is to immerse the visiting public in a journey to the past, through 3D and panoramic audiovisuals, showcases, panels, models and reconstructions of pre-Hispanic homes. The creation of a magical atmosphere and space is essential to ensure that the visitor ends the tour with the idea that they have had a unique experience. In short, a proposal that generates educational, cultural and recreational resources that aspires to become a model of historical heritage management based on sustainability. For all this, there are a series of specific facilities unique on the island, among which a fully equipped archaeology laboratory stands out, in which a specific area for the treatment of materials has been set up, with areas for washing debris and flotation of sediments. There is also a restoration laboratory, equipped with modern equipment that will allow cleaning, consolidation and restoration to be carried out on all kinds of materials recovered in archaeological excavations.
