The story

About the Cozumel Museum

The Cozumel Museum sits in a building from the 1930s that was once one of the first hotels on the island. It has been renovated and now holds exhibits on local geography, ecosystems, history and culture.

A visit is a slow walk through the permanent rooms, with two temporary rooms for local and international artists and a room on 146 years of Carnaval tradition. It stands in the southern hotel zone, so it works best as a planned stop rather than a stroll.

  • Four permanent exhibits on island geography, ecosystems, history and culture
  • 146 years of Carnaval tradition shown in one room
  • Km 9 on Carretera Costera Sur

Maya ruins

The museum is not an archaeological site, but it gives context on island history that helps before you visit the Maya ruins elsewhere on the island.
