Aside from a little miscommunication at the ticket window about our online tickets, everything about this museum is pretty cool. The self guided tour through the museum takes you through some basic Meso-American history and displays some really beautiful artifacts that were found around the Yucatan. They allow photos and the staff is pretty friendly. When you're done with the artifacts, there is a small art exhibition from local artists. After that, you get to take a stroll through San Miguelito. It's a small Mayan archaeological site that comes complete with plenty of ruins and it's own pyramid.
Pro Tip: Get there early! Preferably when they open. The musem itself is small and I cannot imagine being in that space with 100 other tourists. We arrived right as they opened and met only 3-4 other small groups as we explored.
Pro Tip 2: There are iguanas, birds, insects of all varieties and mosquitoes in San Miguelito. It certainly added to the experience in a fun way, BUT BRING INSECT REPELLENT. It took us about five minutes in the "jungle" around the ruins before I became a buffet for mosquitoes. Luckily my wife has an endless supply of items in her bag and we had bug spray.
