Amber Museum Mexico

Amber Museum was opened in 2000 in a former convent La Merced. The museum in its own way is unique not only for Mexico, but for the whole of America. In it exhibits more than three hundred amber samples, including replicas of sculptures and jewelry made of amber, which relate more to the pre-Hispanic period. In some samples, you can see small insects. In the museum you will learn about the geological origins of amber, its use in jewelry, home and in medicine in different historical epochs. The museum also houses a shop selling jewelry and souvenirs made from amber.
