Museo de la Cultura de Maya. View From Av. H�roes and Calle Mahatma Gandhi.

Chetumal is the home of the Museo de la Cultura de Maya or Museum Of The Mayan Culture. Address: Av. H�roes and Calle Mahatma Gandhi, Chetumal, Quintana Roo, Mexico Phone: 983/832-6838 . This museum is dedicated to the complex world of the Maya. Exhibits explain Maya social classes, politics, and customs; Maya architecture; their use of plants for medicinal and domestic purposes; and the Maya calendar. To us the most impressive display is the three-story Sacred Ceiba Tree. The Maya use this symbol to explain the relationship between the cosmos and earth. The first floor represents the roots of the tree where the Maya underworld, Xibalba, reigns. The middle floor is the tree trunk, known as Earth, or Middle World, home to humans and all their trappings. The top floor is the leaves and branches and the 13 heavens of the cosmic Otherworld. It is open Tues.-Thurs. 9-7, Fri. and Sat. 9-8, Sun. 9-2. We were at Chetumal Museo de la Cultura de Maya, Quintana Roo, Mexico on February 5 of 2004.
