Regional Museum of Mayan Archeology

The Regional Museum of Mayan Archeology is a small museum located in front of the central park of Copán Ruinas.

It was inaugurated in 1939 due to the need to have a suitable and safe place to display and store the pieces from archaeological excavations. The walls of this property are made up of large stone blocks extracted from the same quarries that the Mayans used. On the façade there is the coat of arms of the Republic of Honduras, masterfully carved by Gustav Stromsvik.
