After a masterful restoration, the palace opened as a museum in 2017, transforming its old government halls into galleries that tell the city's story from its foundation in 1528 to the present day.\r\n\r\nRecently, the back of the building was remodeled, creating a new public area with a fountain. This renovated zone is frequently used for official events, municipal ceremonies, cultural fairs, and public acts. Because of this, it is important to keep in mind that access to certain areas\u2014or even the entire museum\u2014may be temporarily restricted or closed during official government events. Despite this, MUSAC remains the main center where the city's history and its modern life meet.\r\n\r\nThe permanent galleries offer a journey through the key moments that shaped the region\u2019s identity: from the arrival of the Spanish to the Zapatista movement and modern social changes. The museum is modern and easy to follow, helping visitors understand the complexity of a city that has been the state capital twice. It is, essentially, the \"living room\" of the city\u2014a place where architectural elegance and history celebrate the heritage of the Highlands.","mensaje_whatsapp":"Hola, vi su lugar en Visita San

the Schedule: Because the building still hosts official government ceremonies and cultural fairs, it is a good idea to check if there is an event scheduled before your visit, as this might limit access to the galleries.\r\n\r\nArchitecture and Arches: The front balcony and the long row of arches (the portales) are perfect for photography. From the upper floor, you can get a unique elevated view of the main square and the Cathedral.\r\n\r\nThe Modern Back Wing: Visit the newly renovated back area with the fountain. It is a quiet space that offers a different, more modern perspective of the building compared to the historical front facade.\r\n\r\nHistory in Context: This museum is the best place to start your trip. It provides the historical context you need to better understand the churches and neighborhoods you will visit later."},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/visita-chiapas.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lugares\/208","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/visita-chiapas.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lugares"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/visita-chiapas.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/lugares"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/visita-chiapas.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=208"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/visita-chiapas.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=208"},{"taxonomy":"tipo_lugar","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/visita-chiapas.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tipo_lugar?post=208"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
