Review:
Home to more than 2,500 books and manuscripts, the Old Book Museum is dedicated to preserving and showcasing the literary heritage of Guatemala. There are three permanent exhibition rooms in the museum: the first has an introduction to printing in Guatemala, the second offers displays about stone and wood etching, and the third is centered around the Decorated Jasper bookbinding technique, which was primarily used during the colonial era. Temporary exhibits typically cover topics such as Guatemalan art, samples of the collection that are usually held in storage, and other aspects of the country's rich literary heritage.
