It is quite confusing to find two history museums in one town, and the Regional Historical Museum is often confused with the Ensenada Museum of History, located in the Riviera Cultural Center. The Regional Historical Museum occupies what was once the local prison and several of the exhibits are set up in former cells in one of Ensenada’s oldest buildings. The museum showcases the history, culture, and landscape of Baja California, and as you stroll through you will be able to view bones and fossils that date back millions of years. In addition to the permanent collections, the museum also hosts visiting exhibitions from time to time.
