Review:
Situated on the campus of the Francisco Marroquin University, the Ixchel Textile Museum was Guatemala's first museum of textiles. Many of the textile items in the museum's collections were donated by generous Guatemalan collectors; the textiles range in age from pre-Hispanic times to the present day, and they represent more than 180 different Guatemalan communities from all over the country. Most the displays are centered around traditional Guatemalan dress, but there are also excellent exhibits of jewelry, ceramic items, and books. The museum is closed on Sundays and most holidays, and hour-long guided tours are available for a fee.
