A building without significance is a simple construction. This led us to search in cosmogony, the general design concept and to interpret that in a sense, ours is a culture that has flourished in the Ceiba’s shadow. The Ceiba as the sacred tree that connects the world with the underworld and the sky and the shadow as an ineffable value in a land scorched by the sun but cooled by the breeze. The Museum welcomes to all, encouraging their participation and inviting them to tour and live a great experience in knowledge of Mayan culture and its origins; and most importantly, making us aware of the great development potential that have their descendants, and not has limits; as well as the Ceiba tree refers to the infinite and its branches reach to heaven. All spaces of the Museum are designed to captivate and inspire love to visitors, provide them a new knowledge and will leave them with the feeling, curiosity and need to come back again. The spaces will be in constantly evolving, we will always find something new, it will be a live museum. DISEÑO: R. Combaluzier - E. Duarte - W. Ramírez - J. Rivas
