Maya Cancun Museum is located next to a small Mayan site called San Miguelito in the town of Cancun. The museum features an excellent introduction to the Mayan culture, consisting of 2 main parts which are the onsite ruins and the gallery within the complex.

There are three large spaces within the complex. The first area focuses on exhibits of the local region of Quintana Roo. The second has general Mayan exhibitions with some outstanding pieces, including stonework pieces from Chichen Itza and various ceramic objects. The third is a space for temporary exhibitions. Interpretations of the exhibits are written in both English and Spanish.
