This is a small museum, and you won't need too much time to visit. It gives a good history, and we were glad that we dropped in. Some of the exhibits were dusty, and one can tell that there is little money to keep up the exhibits, but they do provide a good little piece of history. It was not... More

Small, with four large rooms. Interesting displays that focus on Cozumel geography, history and ecology. Good place to begin a exploration of the island. More

I read somewhere that there were two great shops as you go up the steps to the museum. What a mistake ! They take your $ and promise quality jewellery - got home and the ammolite stone was plastic and foil - very disappointing ! Been to the island 6 times and never been disappointed. Be careful ! More

The museum is just a few blocks north of El Centro, along the malecon. The displays cover ecology, island history, and the people of the island. Don't miss the Mayan hut in the back.

Small museum located on the main strip with lots of interesting information about Cozumel. You won't spent a lot of time there, but certainly worth popping in for an hour or so to learn more about the history of the island. Also a refreshing break from the street madness. More
