Museums in Cancún

A compact municipal museum in downtown Cancún dedicated to preserving and sharing the cultural heritage of the Maya people. Rotating exhibitions cover topics from ancient cosmology and writing systems to contemporary Maya art and identity.

The Museo Maya de Cancún is the Yucatán Peninsula's most important museum of Maya civilization, housing over 3,500 artifacts in a striking modern building designed by architect Alberto García Lara. Admission includes access to the adjacent San Miguelito archaeological site.

MUSA (Museo Subacuático de Arte) is an underwater museum with over 500 life-size sculptures installed on the seabed between Cancún and Isla Mujeres, accessible by snorkeling, scuba diving, or glass-bottom boat. Created by sculptor Jason deCaires Taylor, it is one of the world's largest underwater art collections.
