Campeche Archaeological Museum, Fort San Miguel

Very nice museum with a lot to see and understand about the history. It's in the Fierro San Miguel first walk around and enjoy the views and go in every single little exhibition room. I was surprised by the collection they've. Parking is infront of the main door, washrooms available, disabled access is available.

I was surprised by the collection of artifacts. I thought the quality of this museum's artifacts exceeded the archeological museum in Meridia. It is not a big display but what they have is all from Campeche and impressive. I am glad that I didn't miss it.

Walked from Centro, quite a hike but definitely worth it. Quick tip if you walk, once you reached just before where the road is signed to branch off up the hill to the left you will see another road on the left with steps going up. This is the quickest way up. Once there you will find a small but well curated museum of Mayan history and culture and then magnificent views across the sea from the fort roof.

Very good museum about the Maya culture. The exposition is has very expliciet subjects. The text was also in English with short an good explanations. We have visited many Maya expositions and this one binded all our knowledge together. And also the collection is beautiful.

Very good exhibition of many Mayan artifacts, from jade masks to stele to painted pottery. Beautifully presented, with most of the explanatory signed translated into English. Perhaps the best collection of Mayan works that I have encountered.

Very well preserved piece of history. Building is in great shape. Lots of cannons from above. The grounds are free to explore without paying a fee, which can be just as fun if you’re not looking to see the Mayan exhibits inside. Lots of great Mayan art and history in exhibitions. Not a lot of history on the actual building or the people who made it, which I was hoping there would be. Beautiful views of the Gulf from the top. You can do this in about an hour.

Enjoyed this fort and museum better than fort San Jose...artifacts are displayed well...loved the piece they had of jade... Plus the canons are displayed nicely.

Great experience! If you’re in the area definitely go!
