Hermoso museo emplazado en un edificio colonial. Recorre desde el arte contemporáneo hasta los pueblos originarios. Me asombró la excelencia y creatividad de los artistas contemporáneos Guatemaltecos. Dignos de ver.
Al museo se ingresa por la calle lateral, por el edificio donde hacían las monedas durante la colonia.
El ingreso es gratuito, sólo hay que registrarse.
El edificio posee un balcón en segundo piso que otorga una vista panorámica a la Plaza.
El sector de baños del.primer piso se encuentra en el mismo lugar donde antiguamente había una pileta, la cual se expone.

Es una buena opción para visitar un museo y la entrada fue gratis

Impresionante, como menor de edad, esto me enseña mas sobre la cultura de otros paises. 😺

FREE International level museum, it’s highly professional and it’s has quite a variety of expositions on Guatemalan history and some Mayan artifacts. Also THE VIEW, is amazing!! You can see some ruins and the volcano super clearly, plus they have “instagrammable spots”. It’s a super nice museum to go to, right in the Parque Central. Highly highly recommend!!!
