Museo Arqueológico de la Costa Grande, Archaeological museum in Zihuatanejo, Mexico.
The Museo Arqueológico de la Costa Grande is a museum housing regional archaeological discoveries in six exhibition rooms. These rooms display ceramics, clay figurines, obsidian tools, and stone artifacts discovered at sites throughout the area.
The building dates from 1947 and was later converted into an archaeological museum when it officially opened in 1993. This transformation allowed the institution to preserve pre-Hispanic remains from the local region.
The exhibition shows objects from cultures that shaped the region over centuries, leaving traces in each piece on display. Visitors can see how these peoples lived daily and what craft techniques they developed.
The museum sits at the intersection of Plaza Olof Palme and Paseo del Pescador in the city center, making it easy to find. Plan your visit for Tuesday through Sunday when the doors are open to guests.
The exhibits focus partly on the formation of Cihuatlan Province, which was a key administrative and trading center in ancient times. This thematic section reveals how political and economic structures took shape along the coast.
