Overview
- INAH said on social media that during Bad Bunny’s Dec. 17 visit to Mexico City’s National Museum of Anthropology, custodians told him not to touch a stela after he briefly placed his hand on it, and he immediately complied.
- The institution reported no harm to the artifact and restated its no‑touch policy designed to protect cultural heritage.
- Photos the artist shared to his Instagram stories showing the contact prompted online criticism over museum rules and possible preferential treatment for celebrities.
- INAH noted the tour was carried out with custodial staff present throughout to guide visitors and oversee conduct inside the galleries.
- Coverage connected the episode to the MrBeast case in Calakmul earlier this year, which resulted in an administrative complaint against his producer for alleged improper use of the archaeological site.
