Greater scientific knowledge, new cultural space and an additional attraction for tourists that visit Yucatan- is what the new “Museum of Light” represents, a project promoted jointly by the Government of Yucatan and the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), which will allow the state to have an enclosure unique in its own type, and in a world class level.
This new avant-garde site will be built on the grounds of the old railway station of Mérida, better known as “La Plancha”, and will enrich the cultural circuit of the historic center of the Yucatecan capital and regain the attention of locals and tourists to this point of the city that for many years has been condemned to oblivion, turning it into a national reference for cultural tourism.
With an investment of US $5 million for its construction, this modern space will present the scientific and technological advances around the luminescence art and offer a site designed to bring knowledge through various interactive activities designed for the delight of people of all ages.
During the visit made last February by the Rector of UNAM, Enrique Graue Wiechers, to Mérida, it was announced that the museum will have an area of 4,430m2 and will feature dozens of different attractions, such as: six areas of permanent exhibition, a room of temporary exhibitions, an experimental laboratory of science and artistic workshops zone.
