The National Whale Museum in Mazatlán has already opened its doors to the public, and it has done so with great success.
This space invites its visitors to immerse themselves in the world of marine life to learn more about the behavior of whales through guided tours.
The new attraction in Mazatlán has 12 interactive rooms, in which the spectator will enjoy sensory experiences in each one and houses one of the most diverse osteological collections in Mexico and Latin America.
The Munba, located on the Vigía hill, offers an approach to the largest creatures in the oceans, and shares a message of protection and conservation.
Each guided tour is led by professionals and passionate lovers of marine life.
These particularities enrich the visitor’s experience, making exploration and learning more immersive.
In Mazatlán there are up to 23 species of marine mammals, and 20 of these are cetaceans.
This represents more than 60 percent of all species recorded in the Gulf of California, one of the most diverse seas in the world and in which Mazatlán is considered its port of entry.
The infrastructure of the museum is made of containers, those that you see on board cargo ships, this makes it a unique venue that breaks the traditional limits of art and exhibition.
The idea is that the use of recycled materials promotes a culture of sustainability and creates fascinating spaces that invite reflection on the benefits of the Mexican seas and the giants that inhabit its waters.
The Munba was born from the vision of the Mazatlan businessman Amado Guzmán Reynaud, who has deposited his fascination for nature through projects such as the Observatory 1873, which proposes alternative tourism of the highest level to visitors and locals.

According to information from the official Munba website, the price of tickets for adults is around 300 pesos, while children must pay 250 pesos for their entrance ticket to the museum.
As for the entrance to the museum and the 1873 Observatory, the prices are 500 pesos for adults and 350 pesos for children.
