This wonderful museum in a beautiful historic building in the heart of Tegucigalpa is a must see for anyone visiting. The building alone is worth the visit, but be certain to spend some time in the inviting and informative expositions. And definitely stop by the gift shop on the way out... wonderful finds.

Reviewed By ilZio - San Pedro Sula, Honduras
The museum is located a block from el Parque Central and the Cathedral. It's unimpressive from the outside, but great on the inside. It has a lot of artifacts and items on display that show the history of the Sula Valley and San Pedro Sula. The bottom floor is particularly interesting for kids as it has recreation of older homes and it portrays the local way of life. They have sheets with english explanations throughout the museum. It's very well done and would recommend.

This is a great collection to see before or after the main ruins. It may be more meaningful to see the ruins first. Nice collection. Good English signage. You need 1-1.5 hours to see it all. Highly recommend. If this review is helpful then please indicate so below.

I have a 'beach house' theme in my home, and a deep love for all things ocean and marine life, so the fine art triptychs (trilogies of waves and such) and gallery quality giclee prints (tropical fruit, flora, people, boats, Caribe scenes) made this a haven. From driftwood dolphin creations (need to go back and order that one for my brother's Roatan house) to unique, hand-painted dolphin bookmarks which I brought back for our Reading Partners/Americorps kids, they have a two-story collection of curated wearables and artisan finds. Beautifully presented and good cross-section of categories that appeal to a diverse range of wallets... ;)
