Gran Museo del Mundo Maya de Mérida

The built of the museum promise a spectacular experience - it was a void promise to me.
The building is huge. I don’t like particularly the architecture. Too big. It’s also way out of town. Not an easy access for tourists. The inside of the building is quite... sober,linear. I like that.
Of course they have many precious artifacts but the problem is the order how they display them.
As a viewer the easiest thing is to have the different periods one after the other grouped in different themes. Nope. Here they put them all in one place with no apparent order. Periods, artifacts, themes all wildly mixed. There is one consistent theme at the beginning - Mais. Actually well done.
The green structure you see is a Mayan symbol as in it’s the way the build their houses.
For the size of the building they could have fit the NEW YORK MET and the Louvre.....
There is more building then actual museum...Read more
