Palacio Cant\u00f3n<\/em> was built during the first decade of the 20th century, as a familiar residence of the General Francisco Cant\u00f3n Rosado. General Cant\u00f3n (1833-1917) was an outstanding character during his times. As a militar man, he fought in the Caste War against the rebel Maya people. He owned cattle haciendas and was a railway entrepreneur, he also was Yucat\u00e1n\u2019s Governor between 1898 and 1902. In 1932, the Cant\u00f3n family sold the building to the Yucat\u00e1n government. From that moment on, it became Fine Arts School, Hidalgo Primary School, and then governors\u2019 home. After that, simultaneously, it was Yucat\u00e1n\u2019s Anthropology and History Institute and Crescencio Carrillo y Ancona Library, located in the main floor, as well as the Yucat\u00e1n Archeological and Historical Museum, in the basement.<\/p>

In the 60\u2019s, the first generation of archeologists and anthropologists studied in the upper floor, at the Anthropological Sciences School. The Yucat\u00e1n Anthropology Regional Museum, Palacio Cant\u00f3n<\/em> was inaugurated in December in 1959. Since 1980, its permanent exhibition about the pre-Hispanic Mayan society is in the main floor. In the upper floor you can visit temporary exhibitions, educational workshops, and cultural events.<\/p>

The museum is located in an early 20th century property. Manor\u2019s architecture has an eclectic style, known as Beaux Arts, enforced in Europe during the Belle Epoque and in Mexico during the Porfiriato<\/em>. It is believed that the original footprints were done by the Italian architect Enrico Deserti, and the Yucatecan engineer and architect Manuel G. Cant\u00f3n was in charge of the construction. General Francisco Cant\u00f3n, Yucat\u00e1n Governor, lived there until he died.<\/p>

Property\u2019s grandeur not only stands out for its dimensions, but for the materials used for its construction: Plaster pastillage, marble of assorted colors, fine finishes in roofs, Dorian and Ionian columns, a beautiful staircase carved in white marble, and outdoors gardens.<\/p>

In 1980, it became the Anthropology Regional Museum, best known as Palacio Cant\u00f3n<\/em>. From that date, until 2012, its exhibition was focused on archeological material of the pre-Hispanic Mayan culture pieces. From 2012 and on, its content has been changing, presenting important temporary exhibitions of different topics. Today, after 56 years from its opening, the Palacio Cant\u00f3n <\/em>Anthropology Regional Museum is an example of harmony between past and present, being a dynamic place, which offers exhibitions, conferences, cultural and academic events to promote knowledge about pre-Hispanic and contemporary populations.<\/p>

Palacio Cant\u00f3n<\/em> is with no doubt, a landmark of the city of M\u00e9rida, Yucat\u00e1n\u2019s Capital, it is a link between past and present to project it into the future.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>
