 The life of the Museum began in 1905 when Don Manuel Guzman, a resident of San Bartolo Coyotepec donated a plot of land to become a Cultural Center. In 1994 a group of young people started the task of starting with the remodeling of the cultural center and turning it into a museum. In 2002, because of the creation of the new museum premises, the collections were removed and restored, reopening in 2004.
