Great museum on the Mayan (and earlier) archaeology of Guatemala. The exhibits are world class and arranged in chronological order. Most of the interpretative signage has an English translation in addition to the Spanish text. There are lots of small portable items dominated by ceramic vessels as well as jade artifacts and obsidian blades and blade cores. A wooden temple lintel from Tikal is present. The scaled model of Tikal is quite helpful for understanding the immense scale of that site. The museum’s open courtyard has Mayan stelae arranged around the outside edge. A number of the stelae are from major sites that remain largely inaccessible to tourists. They were brought to the museum for protection by the Institute of Anthropology and History (IDAEH). For example IDEAH retrieved 19 stelae from Naranjo in 1972-1973. This acquisition was fortuitous because Naranjo underwent systematic looting in the 1990s. Enjoyed seeing the reconstructed carved stone bench-like throne from Piedras Negras. The Guatemala National Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology is excellent and highly recommended. Whether your stay for an hour or all day this museum is a must see attraction in Guatemala City. One tip - we took a taxi back and forth between the hotel and museum.

Museo que absolutamente nadie menciona en Guatemala, pero que tiene una fantástica colección de arte maya, con grandiosas estelas y dinteles de gran tamaño. Visita recomendadísma para todo aquel que se interese por la arqueología. Especialmente recomendado antes o después de ir a Tikal, pues complementa de maravilla la ciudad.

立派なレンガ色の建物は国立考古学民族博物館。空港のすぐそばにあるので、空港と市内の行き来する途中によってみると良い。付近は治安が悪く強盗が出る場所だと言われているので、向かう時には必ずタクシーを利用しよう。
