Baja California Sur Regional Museum
About This Museum
People wander into our little museum on the old town square usually for a bit of shade, but they leave having touched the deep, surprising soul of this desert peninsula. You can almost feel the whispers of the past in these thick, colonial-era walls. It’s not just a building full of artifacts; it’s the story of us, from the first Pericúes who navigated these treacherous seas to the pearl divers who put La Paz on the map. Most folks are stunned by how much life and history has flourished in what seems, at first glance, to be such an unforgiving land.
Collection Highlights
Don't miss the stunning recreation of the cave paintings from the Sierra de San Francisco—it's like stepping into a sacred gallery thousands of years old. Then there's 'The Pearl of La Paz,' which tells the riveting tale of the oyster beds that drew fortune seekers from around the world and inspired John Steinbeck.
Visitor Information
It's right there on Altamirano street, anchoring the central historic zone—you can't miss it. Come for a quiet hour in the afternoon; the light through those old windows is just beautiful.
Architecture & Building
Housed in what was once a grand 19th-century building, it has that classic, sturdy feel with its thick masonry walls, central courtyard, and deep-set windows designed to keep the heat out.
