About
Casa MIMA, also known as the Museum of Contemporary Indigenous Art, is a museum in Guatemala City, in Zona 1 at 4a Avenida 14-63. It is devoted to modern Maya art and to indigenous contemporary culture, presenting work that speaks from living traditions rather than only from the past.
What to expect
The museum's programme is built around rotating exhibitions. These bring together contemporary indigenous artists and a range of cultural expressions, so the displays change over time and a return visit may show something new. For visitors interested in how Maya identity is expressed today, this is the main draw.
- Exhibitions by contemporary indigenous artists
- Cultural expressions that connect art with living communities
- A focus on modern Maya art rather than a fixed collection
Planning your visit
Because the exhibitions rotate, it is worth checking what is on before you travel, and confirming opening times directly with the museum. The contact number is +502 2253-6464.
