This museum has been open on and off since 1999 and was closed until May 2006, to construct a new roof, which is now guaranteed to hold for at least 40 years.
Don't miss this interesting place just because it is not situated on the main site - as this collection of many original homes offers a great insight into how the Mayans of Copan went about their daily lives.
On the hilltops overlooking Copan you can find a small archaeological site. Traditionally referred to as the “birthing place”, studies suggest that the Mayans went to this particular place to give birth.
