A lovely spacious archive focusing on Spanish colonialism in Latin America. The architecture is impressive, however the inside is quite bare and a lot more could be done to show off more of the rich history that the archives hold. I’d say if you’re in the area it’s worth popping in, but I wouldn’t travel out of your way to visit unless you have particular interest in the field.

Beautiful building. Disappointing content. At the time we visited there was an exhibition with some photos of bullfights and another exhibition about scientific discoveries. Nothing really about the colonization of Latin America, which I have a great interest in and is what I came for. Maybe we were unlucky with the timing, as it seems from other reviews that there have been more interesting and relevant exhibitions recently.

The building is in very good shape. I don't understand why there's no documents showing all the conflicts arises from the discovery of America. The building is full of place holders and empty. At least they could show printed fragments of such documents. I remember coming here 7 years ago and the visit was truly interesting. Don't come here is wasting your time now.

What I'm rating is the current exhibition (I went on December 22, 2021). It's very interesting and it's free, but all the explanation is only in Spanish. The explanation is an important part of the exhibition, so, if you can't understand Spanish, you'll miss most of the content.

Let’s be clear as to what, precisely, is being celebrated here… The exceedingly well-researched book, ‘Open Veins of Latin America’ might be worth a look, as well…
