Museo Regional de Nayarit

TIME : 2016/2/18 9:49:32

Set around the courtyard of an impressive magenta palacio (palace), this excellent museum has a beautifully presented selection of top-quality indigenous ceramics mostly sourced from burials from around 200 BC to AD 600. Figures depicting pregnant women, houses, warriors, ball-players and musicians give a real insight into these cultures, while anthropomorphic burial urns from the local Mololoa culture (late 1st millennium AD) sport spooky faces. There's an interesting section on shells, an obsidian blade straight out of Game of Thrones and good information in English throughout.
