A compact but informative museum tracing Cancún's rapid transformation from a tiny fishing village in the 1970s to a global resort destination. Photographs, maps, and artifacts document the FONATUR development project and the city's social history. It is modest in scale but surprisingly engaging for anyone curious about how this city came to be. Expect to spend about 45 minutes here.
