History
Gran Museo de Chichén Itzá is an archaeological museum in Yucatán, Mexico, beside the Chichén Itzá archaeological zone, created to present the history of the ancient city through original artifacts and interpretive displays. Opened on February 28, 2024, it houses more than 1,000 pieces, including 400 original artifacts from regional museums and objects recovered during Maya Train archaeological salvage. Its exhibitions trace Chichén Itzá’s rise in northern Yucatán through 14 themes such as trade, writing, astronomy, architecture, social organization, and the Sacred Cenote. The complex also includes spaces for research, conservation, cultural programs, and a specialized library, making it a major new point of access to the city’s archaeology and cultural context.
