Researched (not yet visited in person)Last reviewed: not yet reviewed in person

If you only visit one museum in the capital, make it this one: the Maya context that makes Tikal make sense.

Guatemala’s most important archaeological museum: 25,000+ Maya pieces, from Kaminaljuyú stelae and jade to the famous Piedras Negras throne. Its ethnology hall covers the textiles and traditions of Guatemala’s peoples.
