Hacienda Nogueras

Reviewed By 508teresah - Texada Island, Canada

This is a wonderful gem off the beaten track. We visited with a private shore excursion with Admire Mexico tours and Jupiter gave us an escorted tour through the Hacienda and garden area. This museum is very diverse and very much worth while visiting, an old (1600’s) hacienda, a former home of the International Artist Alejandro Rangel and featuring many of his works, including furniture, paintings and wrought iron works. As well a small but well displayed pre-hispanic pottery collection. Within the grounds we walked through a large garden (called ecopark) with local flora and fauna and the remains of the sugar processing plant.

Acapulco Historical Museum

This local history museum is located in Acapulco's famed Fort of San Diego.

Reviewed By Panamajoe2017 - Sechelt, Canada

This is an excellent and informative museum that looks at Acapulco’s historical role in the Spanish trade with the Far East. You could easily spend two hours or more wandering through the many exhibits. Information in Spanish and English. Highly recommended.

Museum of Archaeology and History

Archaeology Museum - The 3,600 year sequence of prehispanic archaeological cultures found in the municipality of San Blas is the longest archaeological sequence known on the coast of Nayarit, Jalisco and Colima. It begins about 2000 B.C. and ends about 1600 A.D., and it has been divided into six archaeological "complexes" defined by sites that share similar types of artifacts. (J. Mountjoy)

Museo Arqueologia

Small museum in Olas Altas featuring exhibits of Sinaloan history and culture as well as several pottery displays.

Reviewed By GlobalGypsy_13 - San Diego, United States

In this small archeological museum you'll find some stunning treasures that illustrate early life in Baja. As the labels are in English and Spanish, you can easily do a self-styled tour as we have done twice. There is a small entry fee, but no gift shop.

Museo Guillermo Spratling

Named for American silversmith William Spratling, who opened a silver shop in Taxco in the 1930s, this museum holds his collection of indigenous artifacts.

Reviewed By sarahkE5365QB - Taxco, Mexico

A very sweet woman who is over 80 years old gave me a tour in Spanish. She had amazing energy, and I can only hope to be that good when I'm her age. The museum has information about the Dutch (or was it German) settler who made all of his money from the silver mine. But I would like to learn less about him and more about the local Mexican people and their experiences.
