The Archaeological Museum of Puerto de la Cruz was created in 1953, in the city of Puerto de la Cruz (Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain). It was created from the Instituto de Estudios Hispánicos de Canarias. It houses one of the most important guanche aboriginal pottery collections in the Canary Islands with unique pieces in Tenerife.

The Museum of Anthropology of Tenerife (MHAT) belongs to the Autonomous Organization of Museums and Centers of the Cabildo de Tenerife. Its current headquarters is Casa de Carta in Valle de Guerra (La Laguna, Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain) and its main function is to investigate, conserve and disseminate Canarian popular culture.
Given the limitations of growth that Casa de Carta presents, the Autonomous Organization of Museums and Centers shuffles the possibility of transferring it to a building adjacent to the Museum of History of Tenerife, in the historic center of La Laguna.
