 MUNAE has been under repair and restoration over a year (now is open to the public). Director/Administrator Christopher Martínez has organized the new concepts that are waiting for you to see when you come to MUNAE. He has selected works of art not in the museum previously. So a lot new and wonderful to see at the Museo Nacional de Arte Maya, Arqueología y Etnología Guatemala. |
 This is one suggestion for a monumental book (by Nicholas Hellmuth) on iconography of the impressive works of art selected to be exhibited by MUNAE Director/Administrator Christopher Martínez. |
 Much of the ceramic art of the Costa Sur of Guatemala is associated with the Teotihuacan trade route that passed from Teotihuacan to Oaxaca through Costa Sur down to northwest part of Costa Rica. MUNAE Director/Administrator Christopher Martínez selected Teotihuacan incensarios and several other important examples of Teotihuacan influence in the Costa Sur. |

Beautiful, well preserved carved stone stelae are featured in the exhibits selected by MUNAE Director/Administrator Christopher Martínez. Both of these crops show the “Loincloth Apron Face” a motif that is common in the Sky Bands of Palenque and elsewhere. But here it is an individual frontal face as a Loincloth Apron Face. | |
