RECOGNITION
This museum comes to life thanks to the support of artists, artisans and cultural personalities from Yucatán and abroad. Our most sincere recognition goes to, in alphabetical order:
The Casa MOdeOn Museum, located in the heart of Merida, Yucatan features musical antiques, gramo-phones, phonographs, music boxes and other mechanical sound devices.
Housed in a historic, lovingly restored 1896 Art Nouveau townhouse, this private collection shows the fascinating development of the mechanical music industry from 1820 to 1930.
The museum is ideally located in Merida’s Centro Historico, just two blocks from Santa Lucía Park, not far from the Remate and Merida’s main boulevard, Paseo Montejo.
The name Casa MOdeon is a fusion of cultures and influences, with the ‘M’ representing the vibrant culture of Merida and ‘Odeon’ having Greek origins referring to a building designed for musical performances.
The name encapsulates the venue’s purpose, which is to bring people together and appreciate arts, music, and culture in an exceptional setting.
