Best Museum in Mexico

R	Ruben Coppens on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice museum (lots of interesting facts). The visit takes approximatly 1 hour, which is a good length for this kind of museum. One negative point: some of the best infographics in the museum are only in Spanish and Mayan. However 90% of the museum has an English translation.
B	Benjamin Burk on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice museum worth visiting. You can learn a lot more about the Mayans here than at the ruins. Lots of neat artifacts with plaques that have info about the item. Only complaint is most of the plaques are very low to the ground and on metal so they are difficult to read. Most plaques are in 3 languages. Spanish, English and I assume Mayan.
N	Nikita Petrov on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Meh. Strange organisation of exhibition, starting from modern days. Museum is not big at all, even the building is big and modern. Price for that is huge - 150 pesos. In CDMX in Museo Nacional de Antropologia it costs only 80 pesos for much better exhibition
P	Paolo Aiello on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Good museum! It has a lot of explanatory boards and it's a joy to go around reading everything. It gives you a really good explanation about the Mayan culture. Highly recommended before going to visit archeological sites that don't have too much explanations inside.
R	Richard M on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Excellent educational experience for myself and family. Beautifully laid out displays with detailed descriptions in Spanish, English and Mayan for most of the museum. There were some interactive screens which were fun for the kids as well. Quiet environment, low lighting to keep the items on display from deterioration. Cool, Comfortable temperature inside.
J	Jaime Ortega on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fantastic place to spend some cool time ! Great statues, architecture, artwork, jewelry etc from the Maya culture. Friendly staff educated me on the types of gods and their place in the Maya/Aztec religious hierarchy. A must see if in Merida highly recommend!
m	mayryanna Shakti on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great, specialized museum with a variety of artifacts from all over the Mayan empire. Enjoyed that most of the exhibit descriptions included English too! We also liked that there was a wide perspective of Mayan culture presented - from the explanations about the language, calendar and record keeping to stories and literature written about the culture throughout history, as well as textiles, pottery, jewelry and other artifacts to diagrams and dioramas that helped to explain the culture. We are excited to visit more of the archeological sites in the Yucatan now with all of the new information we gained here!
R	Rachel M Garza on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Easy to walk with plaques to explain what you are looking at. I had a wheel chair the museum supplied for free. The exhibits are awesome. You can take photos as long as you don't use flash. Take your time and enjoy it's magic!
