This museum traces the city through history, from its colonial Spanish plazas to the modern bustling streets of today.

Merida's City Museum is located in the renovated Correo (Post Office) building, just next to the city mercado. On the first floor are exhibits about the many-faceted history of the city of Merida, from its birth as the Mayan city of T'ho, to the Spanish conquest by Francisco Montejo, the henequen boom of the early 20th Century and current renaissance as the center of culture and commerce of the Yucatan Peninsula.

Once the home of General Francisco Canton Rosada, this building now houses artifacts and memorabilia as the Anthropology Museum.

Artists gallery just steps from Parque Santa Ana and the ex-escuela that is now an art museum. Two artists (from Morelia and Oaxaca) have moved to Merida and opened a gallery showing their work and work of other artists from around the country. They also hold regular classes to show students how to make alebrijas, the colorful dream-like animal sculptures for which Oaxaca has become famous. Children and adults are welcome.
