Museo Maya de Cancún y Zona Arqueológica de San Miguelito
About This Museum
People come to the Museo Maya de Cancún not just to escape the beach for a few hours, but to connect with the profound history that lies beneath the resort city. It presents a stunning collection of Mayan artifacts in a space that feels more like a chic gallery than a dusty archive. You can then step outside and wander through the Zona Arqueológica de San Miguelito, a real Mayan settlement tucked quietly among the trees. It’s this powerful combination of world-class museum and living history that makes a visit so memorable.
Collection Highlights
Look for the skeleton of 'The Woman of the Palms,' discovered in a nearby cenote, and an incredible array of jade pieces and ceramic figurines recovered from sites across Quintana Roo.
Visitor Information
It's conveniently located right next to the Cancun Convention Center in the Hotel Zone, making it an easy trip. Don't forget your hat and water for exploring the outdoor ruins.
Architecture & Building
The building itself is a modern masterpiece of clean lines, soaring ceilings, and vast windows that bathe the ancient artifacts in beautiful, natural light.
