Centro Cultural de Boca del Rio, Veracruz

Throughout Mexico, the museums are incredible. This is a country with a history of millenia of advanced civilizations prior to regular contact with Europeans and another half millenia of history since then! Makes our scant two centuries seem rather insignificant... Well, the Centro can't really compare with the Museo Anthropologico in Mexico City, one of the top museums in the world, nor even with the Museo Anthropologio Regional, in Xalapa. But it is accessable and so very convenient.

The Centro Cultural is on Av Veracruz in Boca del Rio, just a couple of hundred meters from Hotel Costasol towards downtown Boca del Rio. The Centro has several sections, including a computer room set up as a virtual museum to put the exhibits in context regarding the source culture and methods of excavation. The museum offers both indoor and outdoor exhibits, and it is my hope that the photos which follow will entice you to go see the originals, where my insufficient lighting and poor framing won't detract from the amazing artifacts.
