The museum has a large collection of objects and artifacts related to the Holy Week celebration, including wooden sculptures, paintings, and other works of art.
The museum showcases multiple rooms featuring history and traditions of Antigua’s Holy Week. A highlight is the impressive “alfombras,” vibrant flower carpets made during Holy Week. Guided tours and workshops are offered, providing insights into artifact and carpet crafting. A must-visit for Guatemala’s cultural and religious heritage enthusiasts.
Please note that many of the entrance fees for landmarks, parks, and museums are subsidized by the government for Guatemalan citizens. You may notice a price difference for foreigners.
