This is a great little museum on the university campus, and shares a shaded courtyard with the Museo Ixchel so it's easy to visit both. Great displays of Mayan artifacts, carvings, murals, etc. from different areas and time periods. Very safe location with ample parking and easy dropoff/pickup for Uber. Definitely worth a visit!

Must see museum! This should be # 1 on your list of things to do/see while in Guatemala City. Not a huge museum, very manageable with cool AC and all signs in both Spanish and English. Small gift shop available. Definitely worth the time. Right across the parking lot is the textile museum, so you score twice in one location. 45 Q admittance for tickets, ($5.62 US) You can easily see both museums in a morning or afternoon.

This is a fantastic introduction to Mayan history, along with the textile museum on the same site. And if you go to the museums first before a trip to markets, it puts all the work, all the skill, into perspective. I learnt new things, and I was fascinated by the jade work and obsidian. I had a guide who was also able to tell me much more how it all linked together. I highly recommend incorporating it into a visit to the city.

We really enjoy seeing museums when we travel. This is a small museum and you can easily walk through in under an hour. It’s well done, but there is a limited amount of pieces. Also, the descriptions don’t have dates, which would be a welcome addition. Entry is 45 Quetzal.
