San Roque Museum
Museo San Roque
A small, free museum in a former church, covering Valladolid's history, Maya culture and artifacts excavated at Ek' Balam.
The museum is one block east of the central square and was formerly the Church and Hospital of San Roque. The galleries are small and display stone carvings and pottery excavated from sites such as Ek' Balam, along with colonial-era religious objects, traditional costumes and handicrafts. It also explains the Caste War that broke out in the Valladolid area in 1847. Entry is free, and a visit takes about half an hour. It is a good place to escape the midday heat. Most exhibit panels are in Spanish.
