Top 10 Museums in Yucatan Peninsula, Yucatan Peninsula
Hidden gems of Yucatan, such as Tulum, Akumal, Chetumal, Chichen Itza and Merida, offer an authentic taste of Mexico. Akumal and more Caribbean-style Chetumal, near the Belize border, deliver delectable white-sand beaches and great snorkelling. Merida, Chichen Itza and Tulum, with their ancient ruins, offer a passage into the Yucatanâs native history. Nature lovers can jungle trek and swim in subterranean sinkholes filled with crystal-clear water. Bike around the ruins and hop between towns in colectivo vans.

Instead of group tours, they are conducting private tours with your own group of cohorts. What a fascinating and fabulous place to visit and to make a donation to a very worthy cause. The owners have opened their private home and private collection of Mexican art to anybody who wants to visit and only ask for a modest donation that goes towards local charities. It is impossible to absorb everything and only one visit as there is so much of interest to look at. A big shout out to the owners for their vision and generosity.

In the heart of Merida's Historic Center, Casa Estudio was born and continues to grow. It has evolved into a place where contemporary visual art and the solemn elegance of colonial architecture converge, creating an environment at once original and distinguished for its extensive collection of beautiful and masterfully done paintings, sculpture. drawings and prints.

In today's world of evolving traditions and cultural fusion, Mexico's ethnic clothing is much admired for what it tells us about this fascinating country and its diverse communities. Situated in the center of Valladolid, the Museo de Ropa Étnica de México--MUREM--is a nonprofit organization that connects us with the rich and varied cultures of Mexico through the indigenous, traditional, and contemporary ethnic costumes on view.

It is a wonderful small museum and represents traditional costumes of different parts of Mexico. Not all costumes original, there are some modern replicas in synthetic materials. For the present time there are no name boards with descriptions. But Marti is a very competent guide! You can get a lot information about costumes and traditions of each part of Mexico. We like this tour and we had a good time.

Located in the Palacio Canton on the Paseo Montejo, this museum is a required visit if you are interested in visiting any Maya archeological sites. The exhibits on view here are the best of the best -- and the building they are in is interesting too from an architectural viewpoint.
