Tour the Ixchel Museum of Indigenous Costume and learn about the meaning of the colors, symbols, designs, weaving techniques, and the history behind each piece. Learn about the worldview of the Mayan peoples and, at the end of the tour, experience weaving your own bracelet as a souvenir of this ancestral tradition. You'll also see unique textile pieces and explore the museum's textile shop and bookstore.
