Centro de la Cultura Garinagu de Honduras, Cultural center in Tegucigalpa, Honduras.
The Centro de la Cultura Garinagu is a cultural center in Tegucigalpa displaying traditional Garifuna handicrafts, textiles, clothing, and objects from daily life. The exhibitions show how these items reflect the heritage and skills passed down through generations.
The center documents the Garifuna people's origins from African and indigenous Caribbean ancestors who mixed on Saint Vincent island before being displaced. They eventually settled along the coast of Honduras, becoming a distinct community.
The center displays how Garifuna craftsmanship, music, and dance remain woven into daily community life. Visitors experience these art forms as expressions of identity for a people rooted in their heritage.
The center sits in downtown Tegucigalpa next to Parque Morazán, making it easy to reach on foot. Most visitors need one to two hours to walk through the exhibits and spend time looking at the displays.
The center holds a specialized library with manuscripts and documents on Garifuna culture that are hard to find elsewhere. This archive makes the place valuable for anyone wanting to dig deeper into the community's history and traditions.
