Museo de Tizimín

One Museum, One History, Un Legacy

Welcome(YutsilK'uchike'ex)

Since June 26, 2006, the Tizimín Museum has been a guardian of the local heritage. Under the direction of Lic. Luis Antonio Pérez Salazar, a historian of the city, this space invites everyone to learn more about our roots.

Here, you will find pre-Hispanic Maya artifacts, colonial relics, fossils, and objects that showcase the evolution of daily life in Tizimín. We invite you to come closer and ask about the events that have shaped the heart of the City of Kings and its surroundings. See, Ask, and Learn!

Treasures of the Past

Art Room

Art Room

A space that preserves the traditional garments of eastern Yucatán and the black-and-white machines that defined the 20th century. Among oils, antique furniture, and crafts with Maya script, every corner celebrates the cultural and artistic richness of our land.

In its dancing shadows, the remnants of our beloved Maya culture guard an invaluable treasure in Tizimín, “place of the tapir”. Here, metates and molcajetes from the Preclassic period intertwine with pieces from the Classic period and carved stones that once formed part of majestic buildings.

Colonial-era objects and fossils dating back 65 million years celebrate the richness and diversity of our cultural heritage.

Miscellaneous Objects Room I

Miscellaneous Objects Room I

The weapons that whisper of the “Caste War” coexist with the instruments of the first Municipal Band and everyday items from Tizimín, weaving together a tapestry of history and memory.

A space that invites us to reflect on our struggles and to appreciate the everyday and extraordinary moments that shape our history.

This room evokes the contemporary era with photographs of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's visit to Tizimín.

This space also brings together the tools that shaped the work of both the countryside and the city, along with oil lamps that celebrate the connection between the past and present in our community.
