The Copán Museum, Honduras - 11 April 2007 Maya site Copán, Honduras - 11 April 2007

Next to the archeological site of Copán is the Copán Museum. It contains all the delicate stellae and sculptures. As well as some reconstructed walls, buildings and even a complete temple replica in full colour! Those Maya's knew how to carve stone. It's beautiful.
To see where these photo's were taken exactly, have a look at the interactive map and zoom in and out for a better overview.

Three carved stone skulss were at display. One was obviously missing, so I though I'd complete the set.

Excellent replica of an ancient Maya temple. The original is still out there, covered by a newer Maya temple. Awesome to see!
