Nahuat-Pipil Community Museum
This cultural space is an effort of “Circulo Solidario de El Salvador”, a nonprofit organization that seeks to educate craftsman’s about techniques in the making of furniture and crafts using rattan, reeds, indigo and other materials at this community at the province of Sonsonate.
During your visit you will appreciate objects shared with the Museum of the Word and Image (MUPI) at San Salvador; containing an interesting review called “Memory of the Izalcos.” This is an ethnography work representing a late eighteenth century community. It is based on the efforts of Carl Hartmann, who studied the lifestyles of indigenous peoples in the region of Izalco.
It is a permanent exhibition, and it features a collection of ancient grinding stones and archaeological pieces found in the surrounding areas. There are samples of “petate” mats, who where woven using fabrics and different materials of the region. Some of them are indigo-dyed products.
