The Xalapa Museum of Anthropology (Spanish: Museo de Antropología de Xalapa; MAX) is an anthropological museum in the city of Xalapa, capital of the state of Veracruz in eastern Mexico. It is known for its collection of artifacts from Mesoamerican Gulf Coast cultures such as the Olmec, Totonac, and Huastec, including several Olmec colossal heads. The museum's current building was opened in 1986. It is a part of Veracruzana University.
Some of the pieces in the museum date back to the Early Pre-Classic Period from 1300 BC to 900 BC.
It is considered the second-most important anthropology museum in Mexico, after Mexico City's National Museum of Anthropology.
