This small inexpensive museum is run by a not for profit foundation called MUPI dedicated to the investigation, rescue, preservation and dissemination of the historical and cultural heritage of El Salvador. As well as changing exhibitions, this museum has permanent exhibitions focusing on how El Salvador was changed by the events of 1932 and 1981 and on the life of Oscar Romero, who was canonized by Pope Francis in 2018 as El Salvador's first saint, who was assassinated on a chapel altar in 1980 and was proclaimed a martyr.

Casa Blanca is set on a beautiful wooded area right off the main road. One enters the site through the museum, which itself is a very attractive colonial house that looks like the old coffee haciendas. There are a number of rooms with exhibits and an indigo factory and store. When I visited, there was a function that involves singing and poetry reading in Nahuatl, which was fascinating and unique. I think I was the only person visiting the actual ruins. Casa Blanca is not at big as Tazumal but worth visiting. The guards here are very friendly and helpful, truly enjoyable experience, even got to see upclose the Salvador’s national bird, the Torogoz!!
