Centro de Textiles del Mundo Maya
Discover the artistry of Maya clothing and weaving in the former Santo Domingo convent. This is a focused stop for visitors interested in techniques, patterns and the cultural meaning of textiles.
What to discover
Collections include textiles from Chiapas and Guatemala, with changing selections on display. Pair the visit with an interest in the makers and communities, not only the finished garments.
