Museo Arqueológico de Mazatlán
A small archaeology museum in the Old Town displaying pre-Hispanic pottery, stone tools and rock art replicas from Sinaloa.
Managed with the participation of the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH), the museum displays pottery, figurines, shell ornaments and burial artifacts of Sinaloa's Indigenous peoples, and introduces early cultures along the Pacific coast. It is small, and you can see it in about half an hour. Entry is inexpensive, and it is usually free on Sundays. Across the street is the Mazatlán Art Museum, which you can visit at the same time. It is about a 3-minute walk from Olas Altas.
Opening hours
Approx. 09:00–18:00 (shorter on Sundays)
