Muy recomendado. Un imperdible si estás en Antigua. Un placer ver tanto arte junto y que te expliquen curiosidades. Gracias.

A wonderful museum focusing on weaving and the traditional clothing of Guatemala. I took a class on weaving with a backstrap loom. The staff were very knowledgeable and they created a fun learning experience. They also sell textiles. Highly recommend.

Wirklich tolles Museum! Es wurde sich viel Zeit genommen und alles auf sehr gutem Englisch erklärt. Die Stoffe sind sehr beeindruckend - auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert!

Very interesting. Worth the Uber fare and Q20 admission fee. It’s not fancy but very comfortable. Very knowledgeable staff who explained the different weaving techniques and answered questions patiently. They have a nice selection of textiles for sale at reasonable prices.

A Hidden Gem of Mayan Culture and Textiles!

We stumbled upon Museo Casa Del Tejido Antiguo by chance after a recommendation from an artisan market in Antigua, and we’re so glad we went! It’s only a 10-20 minute Uber ride from Antigua, and the experience was absolutely worth it.

The museum offers a deep dive into the rich textile traditions of the 22 different Mayan ethnic groups, showcasing intricate weaving techniques and the cultural significance behind each pattern and fabric. Seeing these beautiful textiles up close and learning how they are made was fascinating!

The highlight of our visit was the guided tour—the guide and his wife were incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about sharing their heritage. They made the experience truly immersive and personal.

On top of that, the town itself was charming and added to the whole experience. If you’re in Antigua and want to explore an authentic piece of Mayan culture, this museum is a must-visit! Highly recommended.
