El Triunfo's Ruta de Plata Museum is open
A tremendous amount of work has gone into this museum. I became aware of it when one of the principle people involved contacted me for some historical
data. They now sell my book there, as well.
There are several pages of photos about the museum displays:

With Cafe El Triunfo and Bar El Minero nearby, one can make a whole day out of a visit. As a matter of a fact, I intend to do just that next February.

We visited a couple of months ago and got a guided tour of the place while still under construction. I think it should be quite interesting once open
in fact the whole little town is quite interesting if you dig into it a little.

I look forward to visiting the museum

We visited the Ruta de Plata Museum in El Triunfo this week. Entry to the museum is 100 pesos or 60 pesos if you are a senior. It is well worth the
price of admission. The exhibit materials and historical
research are highly professionally curated and produced. My favourite installation was the video of local people telling their history and ghost
stories. If you go, be sure to allow enough time to visit the museum and wander around the area. One can make at least an afternoon of it.There are 2
restaurants on either side of the museum. The piano museum is still open and hosting concerts featuring international musicians from time to time. https://www.museorutadeplata.com/welcome

El Triunfo is such a charming town. I cant wait to visit the new museum! There is a tiny place around the corner of the bakery where they sell some
local crafts that is different from any I have seen anywhere else. It is a house and the items for sale are on the patio.

museum not really worth the price of admission - not even at the reduced rate.
If it is raining for a week and you have nothing else to do - go see the museum.
They did not really use David's input well. The interactive Mission display gave Santa Rosalia a mission and erased the one in Mulege. I say "erased"
because it is visible that it has been erased from the image.
With the name "Ruta de Plata" I expected a map display of some sort. Nada.
Where was Santa Ana? Why was it called "Real de Santa Ana"? Were there any roads? Questions David would have an answer for. They should have hired him
for map displays. No kidding here.
Even though there wasn't much to see, the presentation was excellent. Loved the books explaining the center displays.
The restaurant El Minero? Bad, loud music. Lotsa staff - nobody pays attention. Did I mention the almost constantly rattling water pump at the outside
patio?
Good Margarita though (the few drops that they put in your glass). Girlfriend said after being there twice (the first and the last time), she would
not go ever again.
Went to buy some bread next door at Cafe El Triunfo. What a delightful difference. A sound oasis with superb food. And they serve crisp Pacifico - the
other place does't

in the corner of a display book page I noticed a map about copper mining on Isla Carmen (close to Loreto).
I had never read anything about mining on Isla Carmen. Would have loved to learn more. But no details were offered
