Na Bolom Cultural Association.
Body
Na Bolom is a museum in San Cristóbal de Las Casas, in the Mexican state of Chiapas. The name comes from the Tzotzil Mayan language and means House of the Jaguar.
Originally the house, which was built in 1898, was a Catholic seminary, later it was the home of the Danish archaeologist Frans Blom (1893-1963) and his wife, the anthropologist and photographer Gertrude Duby de Blom (1901 -1993).
The intense photographic activity that Gertrude Duby Blom carried out for 40 years has become a testimony of the history of the Lacandon people in the Na Bolom Museum, and her name has been linked to this ethnic group. It was her primary concern to help protect the life of the Lacandones and the jungle, hence knowing who Trudy was, as her friends called her, is an interesting journey through the history of this century.
The Na Bolom Cultural Association, A.C. It was founded in 1950 in San Cristóbal de Las Casas, it was established for purposes other than those that govern it today: protection of the environment and natural resources of the Lacandon Jungle, conservation, research, and dissemination of cultural heritage; preservation and development of indigenous groups, especially the Lacandones. That is, following the spirit of our founders Frans Blom, explorer and archaeologist, and Gertrude Duby Blom, photographer and conservationist, this civil association has the mission of conserving, developing, and promoting the culture and environment of the Mayan zone of Chiapas.
