Far from the center but easy to find on avenida Xalapa, it is a long and spacious museum, well lit with some rooms organized in open-air patios. Many giant Olmec heads and a few smaller pieces that are very interesting.
You can also see remains from a colorful temple that have been transferred to the museum for conservation purposes.
