This tiny museum has an endearing yet fascinating collection of historical artifacts, including maps, tools, and journals going back to the 16th-century expeditions of the legendary conquistador Hernán Cortés. Its main focus, though, is on fossils from the local Sierra de la Laguna range. Look for the huge whale skeleton outside its entrance.
The museum is located at Av Cabo San Lucas Col Centro, a short walk from the harbor. It is open Monday - Friday 09:00-15:00. Entrance is free of charge; donations are accepted.
Near the entrance, there is a plaque on the wall, which reads:
CONACULTA

It has been remodeled, rehabilitated and equipped by
the government of the state of Baja California Sur
The H. IX municipality of Los Cabos,
