Museo Miraflores

Museo Miraflores, Archaeological museum in Zone 11, Guatemala City, Guatemala

Museo Miraflores is an archaeological museum in Zone 11 of Guatemala City, in the southern part of the area once covered by the Maya city of Kaminaljuyu. Its roughly 1,200 square metres hold a permanent exhibition hall, a temporary hall and a mezzanine with 60 archaeological photographs taken between 1994 and 1996. Three preserved mounds, Structures B-V-3, B-V-4 and B-V-5, stand in the garden with information plaques.

The museum was established in 2002 to preserve findings from Kaminaljuyu, an ancient city that once thrived at this location. Its collections were built from excavations conducted in the 1990s that revealed important information about the settlement that preceded modern Guatemala City.

The museum's collection includes indigenous textiles from the Guatemalan Highlands, shown alongside about 500 artefacts excavated from Kaminaljuyu, mostly during the 1994–1996 Proyecto Miraflores. A mezzanine displays 60 archaeological photographs taken between 1994 and 1996, and modern art is exhibited in monthly shows. Labels are in Spanish and usually English too.

The museum sits between two shopping centers, making it easy to reach and combine with other activities in the area. The garden grounds with ancient structures are open to exploration, and the exhibition halls are laid out in a way that guides you naturally through the collection.

The entrance hall has a map of ancient Kaminaljuyu set into the floor, covered by glass marked with the streets of modern Guatemala City. The museum also displays a jade mosaic mask of 19 pieces whose origin is unknown, and a sculpted stone atlante column.
