TREASURES ETHNOGRAPHIC MUSEUM
About This Museum
Tucked away in the historic Casa de Artes on a cobblestone street in Antigua, the Treasures Ethnographic Museum provides an intimate look into Guatemala's living cultures. It feels less like a formal museum and more like stepping into a carefully curated collection of a country's soul. You won't find dusty relics behind glass here; instead, the vibrant textiles, ceremonial masks, and everyday tools tell powerful stories of community and tradition. It’s a quiet, personal space that invites you to connect deeply with the artistic heritage that defines this region.
Collection Highlights
The museum shines a spotlight on stunning, hand-woven textiles from various Maya communities, each with its own unique patterns and symbols. Another standout is its display of intricately carved wooden masks used in traditional dances and festivals, bursting with color and character.
Visitor Information
You'll find it at Casa de Artes on 4a Avenida Sur. Given its smaller size, it's perfect for a focused one-hour visit to complement a day of exploring Antigua's ruins and cafes.
Architecture & Building
Housed within the beautifully preserved Casa de Artes, the museum occupies a classic Spanish colonial building with a charming courtyard, thick adobe walls, and a rustic, terracotta-tiled roof.
