This wonderful art gallery is so unique and I enjoyed viewing different art pieces from local artist. I ended up buying a painting and ordering a refreshing mojito drink. Good place to appreciate art, culture and bohemian ambiance
3. Amber Museum
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 9 reviews
Amber Museum in front of the colonial park with a wide exhibition of amber (incl. the biggest piece ever found of 13.4 kg), Larimar and other precious materials from this island. In the Amber Art Gallery we offer high quality jewelry made from local materials. The museum is located in one of the oldest buildings in Santo Domingo constructed by Francisco Tostado in the years 1505 to 1508.

It turns out that all the Amber/Larimar museums are stores with some educational displays upstairs in the museum part, along with some really elegantly carved pieces. This Amber Museum (next to the plaza) has very reasonable prices and friendly staff, and the carver is there so you are more confident the work is done here instead of India/China. The store has an extensive selection of different insect-containing ambers as displays or jewelry, and the staff was super patient with us looking over these under a magnifying glass. Their larimar is also better priced than the Larimar Museum (which seems to be owned by Amber World). Make sure you check out the large carved Amber pieces upstairs including the octopus!
