Cool colourful masks
On the path to Pascual Abaj, I have seen this small museum hosting many colourful masks collected by a proud friendly owner. It is worth a visit.

A Fantastic Collection of Maya Masks
On the way to the idol at Pascal Abaj, this museum has wonderful specimens of masks used in Maya ceremonials.

Small mask display
At the foot of the trail up to Pascual Abaj. Small display, not really much explanatory material. Ask around to see active mask-making workshop in town instead. I's hard to find, but the family is welcoming and will give you a much better feel for the tradition. They do have an interesting Maximon altar here.
