San Cristóbal de Las Casas - Archaeological and Ethnological Museum

It is worth visiting the archaeological and ethnological museum and library housed in Na-Bolom Inn (Maya: "house of the jaguar"; Av. Vicente Guerrero 33). Both were established by the Danish archaeologist Frans Blom, who died in 1963, and are dedicated to the Indians of Chiapas and their cultural inheritance, above all to the Lacandons whose declining culture is recorded in the marvellous photography of Gertrude Duby-Blom, wife of the researcher, who died in 1993. Since her death a board of directors has run the house, opening it to visitors from 4 p.m.
