Just entering the Cancun Mayan Museum is an artistic experience. The entrance is decorated with sculptures of Jan Hendrix that represent the surroundings of the region on a water surface.

The exhibition space is composed of three halls of eight meters high. The showrooms within the walls feature coated glass, which allows a magnificent view of the forest of San Miguelito and the Nichupte lagoon. The Cancun Mayan Museum houses one of the most significant archaeological collections of the Mayan culture in the world

The Visit to the Museum also includes access to the archaeological site of San Miguelito. This site consists of structures that held wooden houses and palms, where families lived during the last years before the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors.
