Museo Kumatzin

Filed under: GUATEMALA

In Tecpan, Guatemala there is a collection of more than 300 archeological pieces collected in the lands around Tecpan.  These pieces are exhibited since 1992 in the community museum of Kumatzin Jay, which was declared Cultural Patrimony of the Nation in 1995.  The majority of the pieces corresponds to the Post Classic Period of the kaqchikeles.  Visitors can see vases, whistles, ceremonial incense holders, grinding stones, jade and obsidian pieces.  The main focus of the museum is to conserve and rescue archeological pieces found in the zone and to show the kaqchikel culture.
