Audio Guide of the MAAC Anthropological and Contemporary Art Museum

Of course! MAAC welcomes you from Tuesday to Saturday, from 09:00 to 17:00. On Sundays and public holidays, opening hours are from 10:00 to 16:00. Remember that it is closed on Mondays! You do not need any prior arrangement, just come by and get ready to enjoy. For more information, you can visit its official page: MAAC at the Ministry of Culture.

Good news! Entry to MAAC is completely free for all visitors. So do not worry about your budget, just focus on the artworks and exhibitions. Take advantage of this opportunity to immerse yourself in culture at no cost!

To fully enjoy MAAC’s archaeology collections, modern art, and temporary exhibitions, I recommend setting aside between 2 and 3 hours. That will give you enough time to admire each piece and soak in the history and art it offers.

MAAC is a fundamental pillar of culture in Guayaquil and Ecuador. It houses an invaluable archaeological collection that connects you with the country’s pre-Columbian roots, as well as a remarkable collection of modern Ecuadorian and international art. It is a space that celebrates the region’s rich cultural diversity and historical legacy, telling stories through its artifacts and works of art.

For a calmer experience without crowds, I suggest visiting MAAC on weekdays, especially early in the morning shortly after opening. On weekends and public holidays, visitor numbers are higher. The weather in Guayaquil is generally warm all year round, so any time is good for a visit as long as you are looking for comfort.

Yes, MAAC is designed to be accessible for everyone. It has ramps and elevators to make access to the different rooms and floors easier, ensuring that people with reduced mobility or wheelchairs can comfortably enjoy all its exhibitions. So there is no excuse not to visit!

You are in a privileged area! Right next to MAAC you will find the beautiful Malecón 2000, ideal for walking, eating, and enjoying the breeze from the Guayas River. Very close by is also the historic Las Peñas Neighborhood, with its colorful houses and art. And do not forget to go up to Santa Ana Hill for a spectacular view of the city! Fun is guaranteed!

Of course! I recommend wearing comfortable shoes because you will do quite a bit of walking. If you are interested in a particular exhibition, check the schedule on its official website before you go. Do not forget to bring your camera without flash to capture a few moments, and if you need to take a break, Malecón 2000 has food and drink options very close by. Enjoy the experience!
