Museo de la Medicina Maya

24.12.2025 all seems shut down.

A very cool museum that also takes an activist approach to talking about the thievery of indigenous practices. Though small, it shares so much meaningful info - and for 25 pesos you cannot go wrong!

Grass Roots effort to preserve culture and knowledge. Could be something more in the future. In 2018 it still has a ways to go as far as an informative museum.

Not too big but very informative and highly interesting museum on mayan culture and medical practices. Highly recommend to use the paper guides (available at the entrance in different languages) which brings lots of useful info. It is very cheap and worth it! Also recommend to take a cab from the center to reach it as the museum is not in the best part of the city.

I guess there must be a lot of useful information and material to enrich the museum expositions. However, it looks like an abandoned place. So sad, as the mayan medicine is at the hearth of the ethnic cultures in Chiapas and Yucatán

Very exciting and interesting exposition and museum. Nice practical shop with jerbal products. We liked the place! You just need to use translator for some texts in Spanish.

Horrible!!! Don’t go there! The museum consists of one dark room without any interesting information. We paid 25$ per person for absolutely nothing!

The place is very unique and informative, especially for those interested in ancient healing practices. Please not that there are posts online that the museum was closed permanently but they are open again for the public. You can also support by buying herbal remedies made there.
