Edificio Nacional de la Cultura, Cultural museum in Guatemala City, Guatemala
The Edificio Nacional de la Cultura occupies a three-story building with 350 rooms, covering an area of 8,890 square meters in central Guatemala City.
The construction of this governmental structure took place between 1939 and 1943 during Jorge Ubico's administration, replacing previous buildings destroyed by earthquakes.
The interior features extensive murals by artist Alfredo Gálvez Suárez depicting Guatemala's history from colonial times through independence.
The museum opens daily from late morning until early evening, offering guided tours and educational programs for schools and general visitors.
A massive two-ton crystal chandelier decorated with gold-plated quetzal figures hangs in the main reception hall of the building.
