Bahía de los Ángeles Museum
About This Museum
Tucked away on the shores of the Sea of Cortez, this little gem is a love letter to both the stark beauty of the Baja California desert and the rich human history that has unfolded here. It’s a place where you can marvel at a complete gray whale skeleton in one room and then get lost in stories of ancient Cochimí cave paintings and Spanish colonial expeditions in the next. The passion of its local curators is palpable, turning every fossilized bone and historic photograph into a captivating story. It feels less like a formal institution and more like stepping into a well-loved cabinet of curiosities dedicated entirely to this magical corner of the world.
Collection Highlights
A stunning articulated gray whale skeleton takes center stage, while other exhibits showcase intricate shell tools from the indigenous Cochimí people and a fascinating array of local marine and terrestrial fossils.
Visitor Information
