Museo El Fuerte

Museo El Fuerte is a regional museum displaying artifacts from Mayo-Yoreme indigenous communities and regional historical collections across six exhibition halls. The building presents objects and materials from various periods that document the cultural and material heritage of the area.

The museum stands near the original fortress site built in the 17th century as a defensive structure against Mayo attacks. This historical location makes the building itself an important part of the region's past.

The permanent collection shows traditional crafts and photographs that reflect the everyday life of Mayo-Yoreme communities in northern Sinaloa. Visitors see personal items and artistic works that show how these peoples have lived and worked for generations.

A visit works best when you take time to move through the exhibition halls at a relaxed pace and read the information provided. The location in town is central, so the museum is easy to reach from most places visitors go.

The museum's collection includes an antique funeral carriage displayed alongside historical cannons and military equipment from the colonial period. This unexpected artifact offers a glimpse into the everyday aspects of the region's past.
