Mérida, Yucatán — Dozens of visitors explored the cosmovision of one of Mesoamerica’s most important civilizations during a special night tour called “Sembradores del Cielo” at the Gran Museo del Mundo Maya.
The event, part of International Museum Day celebrations, aimed to connect the public with Maya traditions, knowledge, and the civilization’s deep relationship with nature and celestial phenomena.
During the tour, attendees visited specialized galleries housing pre-Hispanic and contemporary pieces, learning about the importance of agriculture, astronomical cycles, and the symbolism of the ceiba tree — considered the sacred tree linking the underworld to the sky.
The Gran Museo del Mundo Maya continues to promote cultural and interactive activities to strengthen society’s connection with its roots and the region’s historical legacy, offering experiences that highlight the enduring relevance of Maya knowledge.
In addition to special events, the museum offers guided tours for schools, universities, and groups in Spanish, Maya, and English. Visits run Wednesday through Monday in morning and afternoon sessions; the museum is closed Tuesdays for maintenance.
