Bello. Muy amigables y hacen su trabajo a conciencia, preservados la Cueva. Gracias! El lugar es maravilloso si te inquietan los temas como el origen del hombre o la evolución de las costumbres y cultura humana. Desde el pueblo de Santillana del mar son 2km. Si vas a pie es cuesta arriba. Hay estacionamiento gratuito. Abierto tofo el año

Hay un parking gratuito y amplio a poca distancia del museo, cierto es que en segun que dias y horas se llena y se complica el aparcar. Las instalaciones estan muy bien, limpias y en perfecto estado, hay taquillas gratuitas dentro del museo para guardar mochila/abrigo, etc. Las trabajadoras muy amables, atentas. Respecto al museo, las réplicas de las pinturas son muy realistas, lo que hace que puedas entender mejor la historia. Tienes también salas donde ver videos cortos, 5 ó 6 minutos, donde te explican brevemente la evolución. Los alrededores estan muy buen cuidados, jardines, caminos adyacentes, también se puede disfrutar de las vistas del paisaje que son espectaculares. Enhorabuena 👏 👏👏... Adjunto algunas fotos, pero merece la pena ir a verlo en persona!!

Es hermoso escuchar la historia de nuestra evolución de parte de expertos. Las exposiciones estaban muy bonitas y el museo es genial. Como sugerencia podrian hacer una visita virtual en 3D.
