Synopsis
Opening as Soconusco Museum of Archaeology in 1988, this 20th century building used to be a jail. The regional history, from the first settlers, known as Mokayas, to the olmec and mexica influence periods, is reflected in the collection that includes stelae from Cacahuatlan. Izapa ceramic sculptures are remarkable.
