The Mayan World Museum of Mérida is a work of art in and of itself: the main building is built as a nod to the ceiba tree, a tree that was considered sacred to Mayan culture. The museum is built on 2 hectares and has three levels which represent the three world of Maya -  the sky, earth and underworld. The mission of the museum is to educate people about the Mayan culture and also promote it on a global level. The architecture of the building along with the vintage artefacts preserved simply cannot go unnoticed.
