Villahermosa residents protest National Olmec Museum in beloved Tomás Garrido Park
Thousands of locals are protesting the construction of a major new museum in Villahermosa, the capital of the southeastern state of Tabasco, citing a risk of ecocide.
In December 2024, the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) announced plans to develop a 14,700-square-meter Olmec museum, choosing the underused grounds of the zoo in the Tomás Garrido Park in Villahermosa as the development site.
