  Unfortunately all the signs were in Spanish and the second floor was closed. I spent less than 15 minutes in this museum that has great potential.  more »

  Housed in the beautiful Palacio Canton this museum is easily accessible if you are staying anywhere in the center of Mexico so be sure to stop in when you are walking Merida's beautiful paseo Montejo....  more »

  The entrance to the place is very economical and they didn't charge us more for being foreigners. The museum has a rich collection of Mayan artifacts, as well as works of art and sculptures of all kinds. The only thing I would like is to give some maintenance to some areas that already look worn out over time. The rest is very good
