As a person from an ec colonized country I appreciated this museum for its mini history lesson and pride in Mexican history. Also for gaining a little glimpse in to the pre-Colombian life in Baja California Sur. Must visit if Anthropologie is your thing. Have the google translate app ready so you can read the signage accompanying the exhibits as everything is in Spanish.

This museum's exhibits and information begin with the migration of the ancients to present Baja Sur. The depictions of ancient culture contains religious practices, burial rituals, fishing, tools and many other aspects of early life in Baja. The narratives are in Spanish but easily understandable. The photographs and wall murals of Baja cave painting are breathtaking. There is a small fee for admission, except for seniors who are admitted free of charge.

Great collection of some amazing artifacts artfully presented. No English explanations but the presentations are exceptional. The curators have gone out of their way to honor the traditional people of the Baja. They even gave a nod to the goddesses without mentioning them as such

Do not go if you do not read Spanish . No other language options. You have to use google translation

Museum is about the start of the baja which we were all very interested in learning about. The museum is only for Spanish speaking people. It does not offer any other language option. We travel a lot to museums all over the wort and the majority offer a hand card, head sets, a web you can pull up on a app etc. Some option for tourists from various countries. With technology today the museum should have some way for other languages to use. It just means they have no interest in sharing with tourists. We used Googling translator to at least learn something. They had a fully bilingual person to answer questions and he was fantastic.

Good museum to learn the history of Baja, enjoyed it and gave us a base of knowledge for future tours. Inexpensive IMHO at $65. The gift shop was not open on Saturday or Sunday because the single employee only works during the week. Still it is worth a vist.

Tried to see the museum. The middle aged curator?? was arrogant and rude and had no change at all in the morning. Said I was the first customer. So you don’t have a drop with which to make change and expect everyone to have the exact amount. 45 pesos to enter and another 45 to take pictures. Must think they are the Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City! No wait, they allow cameras there. Complete waste of time.

I did not a expect a museum of this high quality in La Paz. It traces the history of the area fromPrehistoric times to modern days. Displays are well done. The Dioramas are very detailed . Only drawback is all the signs are in Spanish, but we hired a guide so no problems.

I wandered in to find a restroom. What I found was a beautifully restored open space, hung with art. The restroom was not only clean but charmingly decorated. There was a small cafe that looked appealing, but I didn't have a chance to try it. The entry has a beautifully exposed brick vaulted ceiling. A lovely place to stop and relax while exploring the old town. Nice shop attached.
