Hotel Casa Santo Domingo, Antigua Guatemala.
Anyone going to Antigua Guatemala definitely needs to visit the two museums inside the Hotel Casa Santo Domingo. The Hotel Casa Santo Domingo offers a museum of Spanish colonial art as well as a museum of Classic Maya art.
During the next two months the FLAAR network of Maya web sites will be showing pictures of the polychrome Maya vases and Teotihuacan-Tiquisate art within this small museum of pre-Columbian art in Antigua, Guatemala. The FLAAR Photo Archive has done rollouts of all the Maya vases in this museum, so sample rollouts will be shown. We sent up an entire rollout photo studio inside the museum and photographed there for an entire week. The FLAAR Photo Archive is currently using a Sinar X 4x5 studio camera, courtesy of Sinar Bron. To achieve maximum quality we use Schneider lenses (courtesy of Schneider, Germany).
The museum of colonial art as well as the Hotel Casa Santo Domingo itself is presented on www.maya-art-books.org. This 5-star hotel is considered the nicest hotel in Guatemala.
