"The museum is small; however, you can see many things about Comitán's history. If you take a tour of the city's four museums, you should start here for a better historical overview.
There are also temporary painting and photography exhibitions; I hope you can see some, as most are by local artists.
The museum can also provide classrooms for courses, talks, and conferences; just speak to the director."
