NH Collection Merida Paseo Montejo

The Museum exhibits a magnificent collection of more than 1,160 pieces that allows you to enjoy, among other examples, textiles, religious elements, pieces and various objects and belongings that reflect the current daily life of the Mayans. Engravings, books and historical documents are also shown, as well as artistic and religious works from the colonial era; collections from pre-Hispanic times that include stelae, bas-reliefs and stone sculptures; ceramic vessels, trousseau and offerings, as well as ornaments and sumptuary objects of gold, jade and shell. All this forms a framework where the past and the present come together through new technologies and digital systems to allow the visitor to travel through time and return to the present. The rooms begin with the current panorama of Mayan culture and then delve into the past of this ancient town.
