Museo Canario
The main museum in Las Palmas is well worth a visit, boasting
the world’s largest collection of Cro-Magnon skulls and a few
mummies. The museum also gives a comprehensive overview of the life
and times of Gran Canaria’s original inhabitants, the
fair-haired light-skinned Guanche people, who were conquered by the
Spanish in the 15th century.
