Museum of the State of Michoacan

The Museo del Estado de Michoacán is a cultural gem that transports visitors through the history, traditions, and diversity of the state. Housed in a majestic 18th-century building in the heart of the city's historic center, this museum has been an educational and anthropological beacon since its inauguration on August 11, 1986. The museum has become a must-see destination for lovers of art, history, and culture.

With three distinct sections: Archaeology, History and Ethnology, it covers everything from the arrival of man in America to the Tarascan Empire, through the Spanish Conquest and Cardenismo, as well as the eight contemporary cultural regions of Michoacán. Immerse yourself in its exhibitions and admire the old 19th-century pharmacy, its important library and its large auditorium where cultural events take place throughout the year, including concerts, conferences and book presentations.

Enjoy a variety of activities at the museum, from exciting guided tours to a children's educational program that offers workshops on artistic expression and popular art. Also, don't miss the special events that refer to Holy Week and the Night of the Dead, where culture and traditions come to life in a unique way.
