    Lovely Exhibit
    An extremely well curated exhibit. Although I would say, I wish there were more to see!! 2 floors were simply not enough. I enjoyed the kids exhibit in the basement also. Marcelo at the front desk was a delight! Courteous and willing to help. I definitely enjoyed my visit.

    Wonderful architecture and great guided tour
    Great place to visit! Guatemalans enter free; foreigners pay Q40. Regardless you have to join a 45-minute guided tour.

    I took the tour in Spanish but my tour guide spoke really good English as well and was eager to answer my questions.

    Mayan relics in Guatemala City
    We were not expecting to spend as much time as we did here. The Mayan estelas are particularly striking. There were a number of small statuettes from both the classic and post-classic periods that were well displayed. Some sections of the museum did not have descriptions in English which was a little frustrating.

    Mayan Holocaust
    This museum houses information about the "disappearance" of thousands of Mayans during the years of conflict in the last century. The young tour guide was excellent. This information is not presented in any of the other Mayan museums in Guatemala City . Highly recommend including this in your visit.
