Regional Museum of Anthropology and History
The Regional Museum of Chiapas presents an overview of the development of Maya culture in two rooms: pre-Hispanic history and history from the 16th century to the early 20th century. It was inaugurated in September 1984. The construction of the building was carried out by architect Juan Miramontes, winner of the Third International Biennial of Architecture (1985), held in Sofia, Bulgaria.
The auditorium has a capacity for 250 people and plays an important role in the cultural life of Tuxtla Gutiérrez, since it hosts activities organized both by the museum and by other cultural or educational institutions: book presentations, conferences, congresses, concerts, theater plays and film screenings, among other activities.
