A Step Back in Time on Paseo de Montejo

Visit Casa Museo Montes Molina while you are in Merida and admire beautiful art and history. The museum is a breathtaking mansion built around 1902 and purchased by the Montes Molina family 13 years later. It is furnished with the original furniture of that period, and the four generations of the family that have continued to occupy the house to the present, have kept it in optimum condition. The museum is open from 9am to 5pm from Monday to Friday and Saturdays from 9am to 1pm. You can enjoy a 40-minute guided visit with a bilingual guide and get to enjoy a great time here.

Time travel into the world of the very wealthy Yucatecans
We took advantage of the Wednesday evening Museum Nights (7-9pm) to visit this beautiful house that is surprisingly still used sometimes by its owners. It is open at specific times as a museum, and I’ve even been to a concert in the back yard many years ago. It is definitely a great place to see how the very wealthy families lived back in the day. One of the greatest signs of opulence for me was the kitchen, which is very basic compared to the living and dining spaces upstairs, I cannot imagine an elegant high class woman ever setting foot there, at least in the past. Every room definitely tells a story.

Jewel Box.
A perfect little jewel box of c. 1900 architecture and decorative arts. The formal parlor windows are of intricate leaded beveled crystal. Stunning. As are the Tiffany patio doors and Murano chandeliers. Inexpensive and easy to see in an hour.
