  • Guanajuato Mummy Museum Hours: 9:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. Monday-Sunday. You may wish to call first; the Guanajuato Mummy Museum phone number is (473) 732 06 39.

  • Mummy Museum Address: Municipal Pantheon Esplanade, Downtown, C.P. 36000, Guanajuato, Mexico

  • Directions to Guanajuato Mummy Museum: The museum's on a hill overlooking town from the north. You can catch a cab from any central place downtown (try the main mercado) to the mummy museum for about $3-5. You can also catch the bus -- walk northeast from the mercado and look for a bus with "las Momias" displayed on the readerboard; the driver can point out the street leading to the museum. Walk past the souvenir stands to find the ticket window. You'll likely have to catch the bus back downtown; wait for it at the stop just in front of the museum.

  • Mummy Museum Tickets: You must buy tickets at the museum; you may get a break on the price if you arrive late in the day. Tickets were about $3 USD when I visited in 2008.
