This museum is devoted to the most diverse kinds of folk art of Mexico. Since its opening, it has been one of the most visited in the country.

The most unusual city attraction can safely be said to be the Cancun Underwater Museum. The basis of the exposition of this museum is the sculptures of Jason deCaires Taylor, devoted to a variety of social problems. In total, the museum presents more than 450 sculptures, all of which are placed on the seabed. These masterpieces of contemporary art can only be admired with pre-worn equipment for scuba diving. Such an original museum has its own goal which is that it encourages contemporaries to take care of the environment more carefully.
