This tiny museum on the island in the middle of the Rio Cuale is surprisingly insightful and immersive. It explores the traditions and customs of ancient tribes of Mexico from pre-Columbian times. Most items are from the the Ixtapa Archeological Zone along the Ameca River. Some of the artefacts on display here date from 5000 BC. These include examples of ceramics, art, and hunting tools. Civilizations and settlements represented here include The Purepecha, Aztatlán, Chupicuaro. There is also a section dedicated to the Spanish colonisation practices. The main exhibit is a tomb found in excavations at Sayula-Zacoalco in Jalisco.

• Drive or take a taxi to one of the bridges near the island and then walk over.
