Archaeologists at Tulum Archaeological Zone have made an unprecedented discovery: a cave burial site containing human and animal remains and artifacts from the Maya Late Postclassic period.

The exhibit, Contemporary, Ex-Voto: Devotion Beyond Medium, which opened at the end of September, focuses on the specific retablos known as ex-votos which often depict miracles. They were often commissioned as part of a prayer for help, or to give thanks for help given, and taken to shrines or places of pilgrimage.
