This museum is located in Palacio Canton, one of the beautiful mansions along Paseo de Montejo avenue. I arrived there almost 1 h before they closed and they told me that I could enter without paying. It was a wonderful visit. They had exhibitions of Ek Balam and Palenque sites at the first and second floors, respectively. In the first floor I could also see a couple of archaeologists restoring one of the recently found sculptures. The second floor was even more interesting, they had information everywhere in Spanish and English. Even a section explaining Mayan writings. It was awesome and amazing to learn all that. When I was leaving, the guard gave me a couple of postcards with Ek Balam designs. I loved them! Thanks Mérida, people are really awesome here.

A beautiful old mansion with a well-curated display of artifacts and information from both the Palenque and Ek Balam excavations. A QR code link allows english speakers to learn about the artifacts displayed (the written commentary is in spanish). WiFi is available at the museum but does not work well on the second floor.

Fantastic small museum with different exhibitions and a gorgeous museum. They even have a section where children can colour and read. Security guards were very informative and explained part of the building history to us. Fantastic place. I would only suggest to write the exhibit cards also written in English so everyone can understand what they are viewing. You’ll need at least. 1.5h to visit. Fabulous way to spend your day and learn a little bit more about Mexico.
