With the help of photographies, utensils and documents, the museum tells the story of the creation of Chetumal, from its origins, the Caste War, the arrival of Othón Pompeyo Blanco, all the way to modern days.

Since it was inaugurated in 2011, its goal has been to spread information about astronomy and other related sciences to create interest among students and people in general, by motivating creative thinking. There is also an auditorium for 190 persons, a room about Mayan cosmovision, another one for temporary exhibitions and a botanical garden.

This ArtDéco building started under Rafael Melgar government (1935-1940) and was concluded under Margarito Ramírez´ government (1944-1959). It was then remodeled and some sections were extended.

Designed by Luis Reinhard, it is a scale model that reproduces the old town of Payo Obispo, founded in 1898. In 1915 the town became the capital of Quintana Roo, and it has been called Chetumal since 1936. The museum gives visitors an idea of the lifestyle of old days.

The museum provides information about the life of the pre-hispanic Maya, as well as about their calendar system and their cosmovision. The museum has a special room for temporary exhibitions.

Founded in 1898 under the name of Payo Obispo, Chetumal, the state capital is a classic Mexican Caribbean town, quiet and tropical. Nestled on the shores of a beautiful bay, its surroundings are full of historic, natural and cultural attractions. This is where the first mestizo was supposedly born in the 16th century, the son of a spaniard, Gonzalo Guerrero and Zazil-Há, a Mayan princess.

The bay is a huge inlet of the Caribbean Sea between Mexico and Belize. The Rio Hondo flows into it and it is considered as a Sanctuary for Manatees, a water mammal in danger of extinction. Along the promenade, you will find some of the most important monuments of the city. A boat ride across the bay can take you to Calderitas and Tamalcab Island.
