The "Museo Ixchel del Traje Indígena" is located at the "Centro Cultural de la Universidad Francisco Marroquín (UFM)" and is sided by "Museo Popol Vuh", meaning you can easily combine visits to both museums. While travelling in Guatemala, you will certainly notice the beautiful and colorful textiles that are sold at every local market.

Guatemala is a very colourful and proud country with an extremely rich history. We were glad we saw this museum.…
