A new museum will be built at the ancient Maya complex Chichén Itzá in Mexico, considered the country’s most-visited archaeological site, with roughly 2 million visitors each year.

Though the project is early in its development, it is expected to replace a smaller structure that closed more than a decade ago, and will highlight some of the Yucatán Peninsula’s latest archaeological discoveries.

Details have so far been sparse, but Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) has previously said $14.4 million has been allocated to build the museum, as well as a new visitor center, and for conservation efforts.
