The best museums North Coast

This small museum was created by the founders of the community and their descendants on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the creation of Sosúa. It traces the epic of the first Jewish settlers, since the signing of the Evian accords, the organization of a collective life, until the prosperity of the village. The exhibition is a unique testimony of this period; it consists of old photos of time, documents, and utility or personal objects. The museum is constantly evolving because it is enriched by personal donations.

On April^1, 1895, Maximo Gómez Báez and José Martí, the hero of Cuban independence, signed the Montecristi Manifesto in which the Dominican promised his help in the struggle for Cuban independence. The old grey wooden house has been transformed into an interesting museum. Some documents and objects of the time allow us to imagine the daily life of a family of the Dominican petty bourgeoisie of the 19th century. There are also facsimiles of the treaty.

For a long time installed in a splendid colonial house of calle Beller, the museum of amber has just changed address and concept. If its previous version was more like a natural history museum, it is now a question of making the visitor live the experience of a miner. It is therefore the reconstruction of a tunnel (vaguely convincing) that welcomes us and leads to a jewelry cutting workshop. If you want to visit real mines, it is possible, at 1h30 from Puerto Plata (on request).
