New museum in Yucatán will explain Chicxulub Crater and demise of the dinosaurs

A new museum 40 kilometers northwest of the Yucatán state capital – Mérida – is expected to open later this year to explain the nearby Chicxulub Crater, created by an asteroid impact 65 million years ago, and believed to be responsible for the demise of the dinosaurs.

• New Museum’s theme is asteroid crater.
