Museum Exhibitions
Permanent Collections
Recorrido: The geography and daily life of the ancient Maya in the region, as well as the prehispanic history of Pomoná during the Classic period. The discovery of Pomoná's emblem glyph is a significant fact that has helped establish its rank as a regional political unit in the Usumacinta River region and as an ally of other important kingdoms of Petén, southern Campeche and Palenque, among others. The collection comprises 120 archaeological materials recovered during excavations at the site, including Maya stelae and boards, as well as donations from private individuals. Notable mentions include the limestone bas-reliefs, such as the scribe's stele and the stele bearing a high-ranking official; a mask of the Sun-Jaguar god of the underworld; the peculiar flint knives; the bust of a Maya figure, and the figure of an elderly man with a beard and hat.
