Museo Mesoamericano del Jade

4 Carlos Ramirez - a year ago

Enjoyed our visit to this museum where you will not only learn about jade but also about how various cultures used and appreciated the gem. Quite interesting. The museum store sells real jade so don't expect street and market prices. Low entrance fee. Allow one to 1.5 hours.

Lots of pre-Columbian examples of jade statues, masks, figurines. Worth the 30 pesos. Much more than the pics posted.

Like the previous reviewers state, the museum is closed due to relocating. They only have the Jade and Kakaw shop opened.

I don't know why this place got low reviews. It was small and yes, the pieces are reproductions, but it was highly informative and a fascinting blend of mesoamerican and geological history. They even had an English booklet to translate all the signs. There's a replication of Pakal's funeral tomb at the back which was also beautiful both for history buffs and the casual visitor alike. The gift shop was very expensive but treated like an extension of the museum (especially with the live, built-workshop) it was lovely to look at. Plus you get a discount at the Kakao museum with your ticket from here which makes for a nice afternoon combined.

Small but very nice collection of not only jade jewels from all of Mexico.

15 pesos for a very interesting little expo with a real-life replica of a Maya tombe found in Palenque.

Great place with outstanding jewelry. The museum was pretty cool. Only down side, they open late and close early. Difficult to shop during their hours.
