Some Museums in Guatemala

NATIONAL PALACE OF CULTURE
It was the most important building in Guatemala and was the headquarters of the President of Guatemala. The building is the origin of all the roads in the Republic, and has a spot known as Kilometro Cero (Zero Kilometer). It is actually a museum and also is use for important acts of the government.

This is the outside picture of the Palace

Guatemala City has a Central Park or Plaza and the Cathedral is located on the left side of the Palace.

The day we went to the Palace they had an exhibition of antiques and art work.
