Museum of the Jesuit Missions
Museo de las Misiones Jesuíticas
A museum run by Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History beside the mission site, telling the story of the Baja California missions and their Indigenous cultures.
The Jesuit Mission Museum is run by Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) and housed in an old building beside the mission. Its exhibits include 18th-century religious paintings and sculptures, saddles and weapons used by missionaries, early maps, and everyday objects of peninsular Indigenous peoples such as the Cochimí. Together they tell the story of the Jesuits' founding of more than a dozen missions in Baja California. It is a small museum, and a visit takes about 45 minutes. Admission costs about 70 pesos, and it is closed on Mondays. Panels are mainly in Spanish, with some English.
Opening hours
Tue–Sun 09:00–18:00 (check INAH announcements)
