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.

There was some very interesting sculpture and visual art at this gallery. It is close to Santa Ana park and I would recommend a visit if you are in the area.

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.

Nobody told us about this museum and we fortunately found it through TripAdvisor. This is a must see and listen. The history of Mexican music brilliantly presented through sound,visuals, interviews and holograms. Highly recommended
6. Filux lab

5.0 based on 9 reviews
Filux Lab is an initiative originated from the International Light Festival Mexico (Festival Internacional de las Luces México). It was our firm conviction to create breeding ground for local talent, with an identity all of its own, which made us design the first laboratory entirely dedicated to experimentation, discussion, production and exhibition of art pieces related to the language of light and cinema. Our program connects us with the global scene of art through residencies, workshops, master classes, co-productions, forums and festivals that promote cultural exchange amongst artists, experts and a diverse audience. We are an independent space based in the city of Mérida, Yucatán; our mission is to promote a sense of artistic community where different universes come together around the light.

Run by Banamex, this museum has several rooms of furniture from the Montejo family that conquered Yucatan, as well as several exhibit rooms. When I was there, I saw an excellent exhibit of Mexican folk art.

Once the home of General Francisco Canton Rosada, this building now houses artifacts and memorabilia as the Anthropology Museum.

I dislike using terms like an "icon" - but it is one on the Paseo. Well worth the visit even just walking around it

This museum traces the city through history, from its colonial Spanish plazas to the modern bustling streets of today.

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.
10. Museo del Pueblo Maya de Dzibilchaltun

The museum at Dzibilchaltun is a modern museum with artifacts and explanations covering the Mayan period through colonization. Aside from offering a break from the heat (it is air conditioned) it affords one a chance to learn more of historic progress that the Yucatan experienced. The explanations of the oldest artifacts help give a more complete understanding of the ruins that you will visit.
