The location has not been decided but the two options
on the table are Marina Mazatlán and Av. Del Mar.
Proposed and executed by business entrepreneurs, an interactive museum in
Mazatlán requiring a 400 million peso investment was presented yesterday to
State and municipal authorities.
Ernesto Coppel Kelly, President of Grupo Pueblo Bonito, is in charge of the
project including attracting private investors.
At the press conference yesterday were Mayor Carlos Felton, Secretary of
Tourism Francisco Córdova Celaya and Marinela Servitje, president of the firm
Sietecolores hired to create the museum concept.
Sietecolores has created some of the most important interactive museums in
Mexico. For Mazatlán, the firm has proposed a bilingual, self-sufficient and
attractive museum with large digital maps, big screens, international exhibition
spaces and areas dedicated to the history of Mazatlán including a shrimp boat
open to the public to explore.
Coppel Kelly told reporters the size has not yet been defined but they will
know in six months once the business plan is completed which alone is costing
investors 15 million pesos. Nor is the location decided but the two options on
the table are Marina Mazatlán and Av. Del Mar.
With the official name of “Museo Mazatlán, Lugar de Encuentros,” a
multi-coloured deer logo has been designed to reflect the city´s image.
The museum is expected to be financially self-sufficient by renting out
commercial spaces and providing guided tours.
