Went there without really knowing What to expect. On the end, i was really happy I went, lots of paintings and sculptures are really strong. Close to the zoo and two others museums, so it is worth getting the transmetro of Guaté City.
The building is amazing, even though not in it's best shape. You'll find a great collection of modern and contemporary art there, so it's really worth going if that's among you interests. The guy that was working there was really friendly, gave me some information on transportation, but I wished there as a guide.
Directly across from the museum or archaeology and ethnology, this little museum makes a good stop for people who like art. I particularly enjoyed the sculpture and found several of the pieces very moving. No photos allowed, which is a shame. This place definitely gives you a sense of modern Guatermalan art, and left me with a corresponding perspective on the culture and history that inspired some of the works.
Not much here that seemed to me worth seeing. It's just next door to the main Archaeological Museum, however, so you won't feel that you've wasted a taxi fare if you want simply to nip in there to see for yourself when you go to the Archaeological Museum, which is not to be missed.
El museo en si es , un lugar especial, y la ocasión que estuve de visita estaba una exposición de pinturas excepcional.Su personal es accesible, con buena disposición y entusiasta.
This museum is right across from the Archaeology Museum. It is also very inexpensive to visit. The employees do not speak and English, and all of the signs are in Spanish. The building itself inside is incredible, almost worth the cost just to see inside. It's not a huge museum, but it was a nice way to spend an hour. There are a lot of paintings and some very interesting mixed media pieces in the back. Our favorite piece was a huge oil painting near the exit that we actually stopped to look at for an extended time- first because the subject matter was risque and odd, and also because the talent of the painter was just incredible to make it so lifelike.If you enjoy art and have an extra hour, it's worth the small entry cost to walk through.
Right across from the Archeological museum resides an extensive collection of modern Latin American art, don't miss it.
I liked seeing the modern art. The details that the people put in teh designs and the details.
If you dont like art but you are tring to like it, please visit somewhere else but here. So sad and small, so old as well. And bad maitenence. For what they charge they should do something. Waist of time.
Es una de las joyas mas inesperadas que uno puede encontrar en Guatemala. Se pueden ver obras fabulosas de Efrain Recinos, Manolo Gallardo, Carlos Mérida, Dagoberto Vasquez, etc. Vale muchisimo la visita
