Museo del Traje Indígena, Casa del Tejido is located a few steps from the ruins of the Convent of San Jerónimo



It has rooms in which a wide variety of fabrics and fabrics are strikingly displayed. From shirts, pants, scarves, centerpieces and decorative pieces. It is observed in the back of the museum how, using threads, a weaver creates original designs on the fabric. Although you can also buy fabrics and souvenirs in the handicraft market, visible from the Alameda de Santa Lucía, near the Rafael Landívar Monument, the Museum of Indigenous Costume, Casa del Tejido, it is a good roofed alternative.





It has small sections in which typical costumes are exhibited in peculiar mannequins, with an interesting concept: in a family group. That is to say, you will be able to observe the typical costume in the representation of a family: parents and children performing daily tasks. This introduces a nice way to display them rather than displaying them in paintings or display cases.



Informative technical sheets describe the region to which each suit belongs, its meaning and the language of those who wear it.















It is located on Alameda de Santa Lucía and 1ª Calle Poniente, in the surroundings of La Antigua Guatemala.

Open to the public from Monday to Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
