The Ixchel Museum of indigenous Maya weaving, textiles,
and indigenous clothing is next door to the Museo Popol Vuh of Mayan art
and archaeology. Both museums face each other, on the campus of the Universidad
Francisco Marroquin, Zone 10, Guatemala City (6th Calle Final, which means
the end of 6th Calle).
The Museo Ixchel building is as attractive
outside as the exhibits are attractive inside.
Here is a sample closeup from a textile in the
study collection of the museum. If you are doing research, thesis, or
dissertation on Mayan textiles and weaving, the Museo Ixchel is a good
place to start.
Here is the flatbed scanner that FLAAR uses to
make all the wide format prints (you scan, then compose in Adobe Photoshop;
Adobe PageMaker or QuarkXpress, then print from your desktop). We do all
of this in-house in our own facility.
A wide format color inkjet printer is ideal for
a museum. With such a large format printer you can reproduce your exhibit
material. You can print signs, posters, and banners.
