Visits will take place every Monday and Wednesday from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., and every Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.

MUPANAH invites all categories of visitors—schoolchildren, students, young people, adults, researchers, and tourists—to come and discover or rediscover the richness of its collections and deepen their knowledge of Haitian history and culture.

Inaugurated in 1983, the museum is located in the heart of downtown on the Place du Champ-de-Mars. It boasts a unique architecture, being largely built underground.
