Asociacion Cultural Na Bolom

The former home of Frans and Trudy Blom, a Danish couple that worked to save the region's forests and native inhabitants, is now the headquarters of a foundation dedicated to continuing their work and also includes a museum.

Reviewed By 56MandM - Edmonton, Canada

Na Bolom is a few blocks off the main tourist areas of San Cris and a world away in terms of history, culture, art. This is a museum and gallery where you feel connected to the exhibits and the people that collected them. You can feel the love, passion and inspiration all around you, in the walls, beautiful courtyards and gardens. The personal items give you a sense of the very real people that called this home. Their important work continues in the association they left behind, the Na Bolom Cultural Centre. Definitely worth a visit. The restaurant is excellent too, for breakfast, lunch or dinner. One of the highlights of our trip to Mexico.
