If you are traveling in Mexico, it's likely you have already noticed the local people's love of art. It doesn't matter what form or genre the art takes as long as it is present. For a newcomer to the culture and history of this wonderful country, one of the best places to really learn an appreciation for the talents of this country's residents is to visit the Museo de la Cancion Yucateca in the lovely city of Merida, Mexico. Translated into English to read the Museum of the Yucatan Song, this museum is considered by many Mexicans to be the most important museum in the entire country. Most of the visual arts, like sculpture and painting are represented in the museum, but the real focus of museum curators is music. Every element of Mexican music is covered from the composers to the actual performers. There is no doubt about it, you will find plenty to see and hear at this unique attraction.
The Museum of the Yucatan Song is made up of 4 different rooms. Each room is dedicated to a different art form. You will walk through display of old sheet music and music books in the composers' room. Many people find the artists' room, with its bronze statues, oil paintings, and other assorted mixed media works, to be the most visually interesting in the museum. Of course, you can't forget the singer songwriter room reserved for those who touched the people with their musical performances. The final room is reserved for poets. With such romantic souls, it only makes sense that the Mexican people honor the most graceful forms of the written word.
