Museo de La Cultura Maya

Chetumal, Quintana Roo, Mexico
Recenter Map To This Location

The town of Chetumal is not special, but its Museo de La Cultura Maya (Museum of Mayan Culture) is stunning—small, but exquisite and tasteful, and no expense seems to have been spared to create a jewel. The floors are made of gleaming green marble and classical music plays softly in the background. The museum is designed around three floors (connected by ramps) representing the underworld, the human world, and the celestial world. Throughout the museum are excellent exhibits and video presentations enhancing what you see. The most dramatic visual display is along one wall where a huge screen features a constantly repeating movie that takes you flying over the great Mayan cities in a small plane.
