A real jewel in San Salvador

A very pleasant surprise! This museum is a real jewel in San Salvador. You have a very interesting collection of precolombian artifacts as well as colonial period. Most of the explanations are in spanish and english. Also very interesting the room dedicated to the development of agriculture. Very touching the part dedicated to the civil war. A special thanks to the free guide Adelina who proved to be very professional and prepared on the history of El Salvador. Besides, being a disabled person I really appreciated the barrier-free museum. The only negative point the absence of books about the museum. In any case thumbs up!

Take your time!
I recently visited the anthropology museum for the 3rd time. There is always something new to see, and it's hard to see everything in one visit. This time there was a special exhibit on migration throughout the history of El Salvador. Especially moving were the photos and stories of the migration of women. Many of the explanations for the exhibits are in Spanish and English. The museum is in an area with other sites to visit. Definitely a must for history buffs.

PRE-COLUMBIAN ARTIFACTS
Pre-Columbian artifacts, Mayan, on display. So are Colonial period exhibits. Not extensive but interesting and informative. I've been to some Mayan sites, but I have others I want to visit, including Copan. This museum is a must if you have any interest in Mesoamerican culture and history.
