TJ Museum

BajaBlanca - 1-19-2014 at 11:08 AM

some guests just mentioned this morning that they went to a wonderful museum in TJ on the history of Baja - from Indians to present and that is was fantastic. There are big mock ups of the missions and life size replicas of people in traditional clothing.

They took no pics )):

Have any of you been there? can you tell me the official name of the museum? do you have any pics?

thanks in advance!

Yes... it is CECUT, and see it here when Baja Cactus treated us to a cultural Event in 2004: http://vivabaja.com/fiesta/

We returned for Viva Baja Cactus in 2006: http://www.vivabaja.com/vivabajacactus/

Thanks, David!

Once they drive south of El Rosario, there is no finer 'cactus garden' in the world!

CECUT has lots more than some great museums, they have IMAX and they have a first rate theater, we've seen some great performances there and we are going Saturday to see a Beatles/Laser show for $MX 25 pesos.

There is lots of free entertainment, often Saturday afternoons. Music, dance.
