Its main objective is the dissemination of Tzotzil-Tzeltal healing practices in the state of Chiapas. Formed by a diversity of museographic environments that recreate the uses of this traditional medicine, in addition to the practice and therapeutic resources used by the Jilol (pulsator), Koponej witz (mountain prayer), Tzakbak (bone maker), Jvetome (midwife) and Acvomol (herb). The museographic discourse is developed through six environments or rooms and a demonstrative garden, which contains a significant number of medicinal plants. In 1998 the Museum of Mayan Medicine received the Miguel Covarrubias National Museography Award from the National Institute of Anthropology and History.
