Introduction
The Campeche Archaeological Museum stands inside the walls of this pirate-defended old city and gathers the best of Campeche's Maya heritage — especially objects from nearby sites like Calakmul and Edzná. Stone sculpture, jade, tomb masks and reconstructions dominate the halls, preparing visitors for the rainforest kingdoms before they head out to the ruins themselves.
