Museo Ixchel del Traje Indígena in Jalapa

Tarifs indiqués sur le site internet non respectés. Accueil succinct. Endroit pas climatisé et très très chaud ! Visite insupportable fait au pas de course.

Wonderful history/textiles museum. Excellent history of the country played out visually. Highly recommended.

Truly worth it if you admire indigenous art. Highly recommended.

I love going to museums, especially when it’s about a different culture that I am from 😊 the museum is not that big but it’s definitely worth going! You can see so many interesting things, such as traditional clothes that was worn back in the day, pottery, paintings, etc. They also have a small souvenir shop in the museum, which had very reasonable prices. Staff was super friendly and willing to help whenever we asked questions.

Great to connect with the roots of Guatemala

Precioso museo sobre el textil indigena gualtemalteco. En mi opinion es altamente recomendable

A hidden gem in Guatemala city. We went to this museum based on a recommendation from our travel book. But it exceed our (already highexpectations. Located a little out of the main city area Museo Ixchel has a mind blowing collection of huipils on top of a very strong historical narrative of Guatemala’s textile history. Not only will you learn a lot about weaving and traditional clothing, the information given (in Spanish & Englishwill equally allow you to learn about Guatemala, its culture and history. From the first settlers to the modern textile revolution. This museum is as good for people who know nothing of textiles as well as for the passionate/experts. Or for those, like us, who were looking to better understand Guatemala’s past and present.Moreover, you will get to enjoy Carmen Pettersen art depiction of traditional costumes... which left us speechless.As a plus the staff is very knowledgeable, showing great kindness and are dedicated to their work!A must see... We definitely plan on coming back very soon.

No me aportó nada nuevo. Con visitar los pueblitos alrededor de Antigua y Atitlán están en la población.

I went here with two friends. And although textiles are not my area of interest I did enjoy my visit and learned a couple of things too.

Excelente atención, toda la información es de mucha utilidad y enriquecedora. Adquirí 3 libros y todos cuentan con una documentación de alta calidad e informativos.

Datos importantes para amar más a Guatemala, su cultura y tradiciones.

New must see exhibits blending beautiful antique Mayan pottery with the oldest of the museum textiles.And a wonderful new wing with a time capsule of mayan textiles evolution through time.Museo Ixchel really hit the mark this time. Museogrgraphy and lighting is hugely improved. A great new experience. Highly recommended!

Excellent. The presentation of the collections is breathtaking. Photos are of the open public areas. Photos allowed in rooms 2-6 if I remember the rules...all material is in English and Spanish. Beautiful and tells a great and important story.

Interesting, especially how the customs and fashion changes over time, even for indigenous clothing

Excelente museo sobre los textiles de las distintas regiones de Guatemala. Es un increíble lugar para visitar, especialmente para las personas amantes de los textiles indígenas. Su colección es amplia y la museografía de este lugar es un poema para la producción textil de las comunidades que habitan Guatemala.

Por sector se ve video, estan en español e ingles. Esta toda la historia vestimenta Guatemala

Beautiful. Well organized? The gift shop is a must.

Such a beautiful museum. If you’re in the Guatemala City area and want to know more about indigenous clothing and the Spanish influence on their textiles come see !

Un hermoso museo con la historia de los trajes típicos, su elaboración y variedad de diseños.

Nice museum with interesting permanent exhibits about pre-columbian textiles, colonial textiles and a little bit about modern Guatemalan textiles. Had several interesting temporary exhibits in March 2021 as well.

Great collection of indigenous clothing of Guatemala.

Es un lugar bastante tranquilo e interesante para aprender sobre los trajes típicos del país, desde el periodo clásico de los mayas a lo actual, su información e investigación está bastante bien redactado y se aprende bastante

Hermoso lugar. El recorrido es rápido, hay mucha lectura pero de fácil comprensión. Ideal para visitar entre semana, su afluencia es baja así que estarán tranquilos. Costo Q45 por adulto y Q15 por niños.

Apresenta uma boa variedade do universo têxtil guatemalteco e sua história, poderia ser mais elaborado.

Un museo pequeño pero muy interesante me encantaron las acuarelas de la última sala

Interesante la variedad de trajes típicos que tienen, tan variado como regiones hay

Great museum to visit. I found it very interesting to understand Mayan textiles and the history of Guatemala. The staff were very friendly and I would recommend the museum, if you’re visiting Guatemala.

El único problema que vi es que en las salas donde dejan tomar fotos la iluminación es muy pobre, y comprendo que es para conservar las prendas y si color pero con esa iluminación sera difícil que salga la foto sin flash. Pero todo muy informativo y educativo.

Really interesting and well done. Absolutely recommended, maybe better to visit before visiting the rest of the country to better understand what you are seeing in textiles.

Great display of Mayan history

Muy completo y didáctico! La exposición permanente contiene muestras de tejido y vestimentas a lo largo de la historia de Guatemala y sus regiones. Recomendado!

Great venue for events and exhibitions

Good descriptions

Very good

Second trip, saw all three movies.....another must see if you have never been! Dont forget to hit up the gift shop, traditional items available but also really fun and artistic items!

Be sure to watch their videos as well

More than you wanted to know about the original and history of Guatemalan clothing!

The work they are doing is amazing. The preservation of Mayan textiles is key for Guatemalan identity and deep rooted into the culture. The people that work there are very nice, very devoted to what they do.

Nice museum, but one of the 4 rooms are under the reconstruction right now

Great place to visit, with a lot of culture

Immersi e sommersi in un mondo di magia e colori possiamo viaggiare nella notte secoli. Grazie

It is a great museum where you can learn more about Guatemalan culture

Very nice, well organized. Come if you want to know more about the indigenous cultures in Guatemala

I really enjoyed seeing the cultural history through the clothing worn by the different Mayan people.

Muy bonito; pero a los guías les falta informar mejor.

Top of the line museum

A beautiful museum that shows incredible pieces of their multiple collections.

Fabulous collection, informative curatorial notes - offered in both english and español - helpful staff and impressive mission.

I highly recommend the waist loom weaving workshops!

Otro lujo dentro de la ciudad; instalaciones de primer nivel, una narrativa cercana al visitante y objetos en display muy interesantes; es bueno ver los 3 videos que se ofrecen antes de comenzar el recorrido, ya que los videos de telares, cofradías y Atitlán contextualizan y preparan para el recorrido que viene.
