The museums are the art museum TEA and right beside it the only museum which has mummies of the Guanches on display. It is also housing an original clay sculpture of the Guanche fertility goddess, a beautiful replica of which buy at Casa Aduana Puerto de la Cruz. There, you may also find a group of school children sitting with a teacher on a Monday afternoon in its patio to study during the peak of summer. I saw this through glass doors in August 2010 when the museum was closed to the public.

You cannot miss the Tenerife TEA, once you spot this Mercado Nuestra Senora Africa

By the way, this Mercado also has a flea market on Sundays.

Museum Museo del Hombre y de la Naturaleza:

This museum may be translated as Tenerife museums Man and Nature and Guanche bio-anthropoloy. It still appears as Tenerife Museo Archeológico (Tenerife Archeological Museum) in a Google map, which I found in August 2010. Get a more modern map at the bus station information office Santa Cruz for free...

By the way, the Tenerife Archeological's own museum art and good taste for museum display and outlay surprised me most of all.

It is about 50 steps of walking between both museums by road along the gorge. They should name this short street museum road, most appropriately.

This tower is their tallest landmark in the nearest vicinity. It belongs to Iglésia Matriz de la Concepción.

This is opposite the Santos gorge.

Calle Castillo, the most popular Santa Cruz shopping street starts almost on the other side
of the bridge. Of course, not within the gorge...

Tram rails need crossing to get you to Plaza del Principe de Asturias and the shops, such as Zara , within 5-20
minutes leisure walk.

What about Calle La Noria opposite the 2 Tenerife museums ?

La Noria is now called Calle de Dominguéz Alfonso. It is virtually opposite of two most remarkable museums. It is below the Puente de Leones (Lions bridge) in the gorge of Santos. Find this street between the bridge of the lions and the Santa Cruz oldest Church square Iglésia Matrize de la Concepción...

Actually, everything, including the Tenerife museums are almost spread out like a living map in front of you when you look down from that bridge. Culture is concentrated below, indeed. It is exactly how you discover this sight seeing spot Santa Cruz in above picture. The gorge is not depicted on the above image, but is immediately to the right.

How get to Theatre Teatro Guimerá?

Continue walking for a few meters and turn left again at the Chinese corner restaurant into Plaza de Madeira.

The Teatro Guimera is the handsome building behind the sculpture by Igor Mitoraj. This is one more works of Spain art which stands in the open on a Santa Cruz Tenerife street.

If there was a little bridge right beside the art museum TEA you would be at the theatre within three minutes, almost. So much to a short radius, or call it circle, of action packed sight seeing spots and museums by the Santa Cruz Tenerife seaside where you often see big ferries, cruize ships and boats. And not to forget a combination of landmark, holiday park and history by the capital Park Parque Maritimo César Manrique.

My other favorite Tenerife museums are:

The Tenerife Military Museum:

Big monument outside the fort museum Almeida:

Walk around the fairly big block to find the museum entrance in
Calle San Isidoro. The Fort of Almeida Castillo Almeida, is taking up some relatively large area, indeed. I will tell you more about this entrance free museum, soon, as it is a lovely place to see.

The Tenerife Museum Bellas Artes,

Portillo visitors centre museum with its haunting free cinema show.

Honey and wine museums la Baranda Tenerife.

Tenerife outdoor museums some of which are park museums with street art or like Palmetum and Parque Botaniquo Puerto Cruz, whose magnificent garden was a Spain royal experimental show project first.
