Experiencia fantástica: A fantastic museum with a variety of cultural items and information. The host was extremely friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable of the history of the region. His passion was evident and he had truly created a special place. We recommend stopping at the Centro de Interpretación de Risco Caído y las Montañas Sagradas to learn a bit about the history of the region first before coming here to see and experience it.

Experiencia fantástica: A very interesting and atmospherical museum with stunning views. We were the only people there so we had the caves to ourself to explore. The staff made sure we had a pleasant time and answered our questions. The cat that lives there followed us around the whole time. Fun fact: I went to this museum in 2017 and the cat was there already - so it was nice being back. Would definitely come back and recommend. Also there is no entrance fee but you can give a little tip to support the museum.

Experiencia fantástica: This is a very nice museum. Large numbers of visitors. It's a nice tourist attraction in Artenara. Cave dwellings as a ''flat'' should be not associated badly.

The caves were furnished with original furniture and household appliances. It's worth seeing. I visited in January 2015. Very friendly staff. There is no problem with parking space. WC available. A small gift shop on site.

Experiencia fantástica: A small, charming, informative museum. It really helps you to imagine how people would have lived in a cave. It also has stunning views. Super friendly and helpful staff too.

Experiencia fantástica: Small dreamlike time travel. I encourage to ask the very friendly and educated staff to inquire about the everyday use of environment - they will tell the delicacies which you will not decipher from the assemblage on exhibit, e. g. in each of the lovely little beds 4 persons slept... Life was not that easy though it looks like being a setting of a fairy tale. Time was spent on hard and light handwork, preparing anything for yourself with your hands - things now you only can pay for.
