Museo de los Altos de Chiapas
Explore the highlands through archaeology, colonial history and the story of Santo Domingo. The former convent adds architectural context to the collections.
What to discover
The regional displays cover the Maya past, the colonial period and local historical memory. The textile center occupies the same convent complex but has its own visitor information.

Before your visit
Ask the museum about current exhibitions, photography and access needs. Archival images do not guarantee today’s displays, and an attractive historic building does not establish step-free access.
