Diario de Yucatán hosts journalism museum in Mérida

The Diario de Yucatán newspaper maintains a museum within its historic headquarters in Mérida, Mexico. The Museo Diario de Yucatán (MUDY) is one of the few news organizations globally to house a museum at its primary printing site, joining the ranks of institutions like The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.

Located in the historic center of Mérida, the museum features five thematic rooms detailing the history of journalism in the Yucatán Peninsula. The facility includes a Megateca containing the newspaper’s historical archives, original documents, and symbolic covers, as well as antique printing machinery that remains functional. The museum also hosts temporary exhibitions, such as a current display on sacred art from the peninsula.
