Quiche
Mayan burial urn iconography
Archaeologist and art historian Dr Nicholas Hellmuth is initiating a long range program
to study the iconography of Quiche Maya urns.
This project has been encouraged
by the Board of Directors of the Museo Popol Vuh, Universidad
Francisco Marroquin.
Dr Hellmuth has been a Visiting
Professor at this university for several years now. He teaches digital
photography, panorama photography, and will shortly be teaching rollout
photography.
This page will be updated this summer
as the project moves forward. Volunteers who might wish to work on this
project should send an e-mail inquiring to ReaderService@FLAAR.org.
However no short-term volunteers
are realistic; need to stay long enough to make a meaningful contribution.
Museum personnel speak español, English, and some Deutsch. FLAAR
is fully tri-lingual.
The
official web site of Museo Popol Vuh is www.popolvuh.ufm.edu.gt. All
inquiries related to volunteer work at Museo Popol Vuh must be addressed to popolvuh@ufm.edu.gt,
or to the street address:
Museo Popol Vuh Universidad Francisco Marroquin 6a calle final zona
10 Guatemala 01010
