We visited during a free tour of the town. Juan explained the Mayan calendar and showed me my birth sign and what it meant. He took the time to explain painting techniques and was so friendly. I love the painting I bought and was so glad to have met the artist.

The Dominican friars arrived in the old city of "Santiago de los Caballeros de Guatemala" around 1538 and built one of the most important convents of the Spanish New World. However, the terrible "Terremotos de Santa Marta" of 1773 destroyed a great part of the "Convento de Santo Domingo". Its ruins house now the fantastic "Casa Santo Domingo", a complex of hotel, restaurants, museums, spa, gardens and church. "Casa Santo Domingo" is today one of the most popular wedding venues of Guatemala and the Americas, due to its beauty, tradition and history. You can be a guest of "Casa Santo Domingo" or simply a visitor, strolling along its gardens or restaurants. If time is not a constraint, visit also the museums (with entry fees). Unmissable at any visit to Antigua and its historic center! Enjoy!

The elaborate interior of this former presidential palace houses paintings and sculptures by famous Guatemalan artists.
We Just invited to this special building made in 1944 i think. The ceremony was nice and we were with the president of the country. This place was made from a special kind of rock, green colored. The rooms are wonderful and the paintings and everything are splendid. Today is a musuem too, a place to visit in This beautiful country.

Textiles and clothing of the Mayan people, Guatemala's indigenous community, are displayed at this outstanding museum, which also contains paintings, interactive weaving exhibits, a bookstore and gift shop.
While small, this museum is really worth your time to visit given its comprehensive exhibits about Mayan textile, festivals, and their presences in Guatemala. The presentations include videos, exhibits, and figures. We learnt a lot about the Mayan textiles more than anywhere we visited in Mexico.

This is one of Central America's most famous Maya art museums. Its collection is renown due to its large number of funerary urns. It also includes unique Maya pottery pieces and other artifacts spanning from 2000 B.C. through colonial times.
This small museum is truly a gem in Guatemala and should be in anyone’s list while in town. While it is small containing only less than 10 rooms its exhibits and the way to tell the story is superb, organized chronologically in five segments starting from pre-columbian period (before 1500s BC) down classic and colonial period (1600s-1800s). There are many interesting pieces exhibited and related to many tribes including Mayan in Guatemala. Tip. Don’t miss the twin museum of Ixchel showcasing Mayan textiles. Tip. It is a bit difficult to come here and we recommend to take Uber here.

The National Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology is a public institution and is part of the Directorate General of Cultural and Natural Heritage. Protects and disseminates the most important collection of archaeological artifacts of Mayan Culture, as well as a collection of ethnological material showing the cultural diversity of Guatemalan society. The permanent exhibition occupies 3500 square meters including pieces of jades, pottery, textiles and masks. Two rooms for temporary exhibitions present general topics of Mayan Culture and Guatemalan Archaeology.
The museum is organized into pre classic, classic and post classic exhibits of the Mayan civilizations. It is a good way to get background before going to the actual ruins.
