Handmade Mayan Worry Dolls at MUNAG in Antigua, Guatemala

At From The Mayan, we are proud to collaborate with the Museo Nacional de Arte de Guatemala (MUNAG) and Obras Sociales del Santo Hermano Pedro (OSSHP).


Through La Galería at MUNAG in Antigua, Guatemala, visitors can discover authentic Mayan worry dolls and handmade Guatemalan handicrafts crafted by families in the highlands.


This collaboration helps preserve traditional craft, support local artisans and contribute to meaningful social initiatives in Guatemala.


Celebrating Guatemalan Culture at MUNAG

The Museo Nacional de Arte de Guatemala (MUNAG) is located in the historic Real Palacio de los Capitanes Generales in Antigua, Guatemala.


The museum presents more than 3,000 years of Guatemalan art and cultural history — from pre-Hispanic pieces to religious art, jade, pottery and contemporary works.


From The Mayan’s handmade worry dolls and Guatemalan handicrafts are featured in La Galería, the museum gift shop. Each purchase supports the work of Obras Sociales del Santo Hermano Pedro (OSSHP) and helps keep traditional craft connected to new audiences.


Supporting Social Initiatives with OSSHP

Obras Sociales del Santo Hermano Pedro (OSSHP) supports vulnerable communities in Guatemala through healthcare, education and social assistance.


Their work includes medical care, specialized surgeries, educational support and rehabilitation programs for people in need.


Through La Galería at MUNAG, selected From The Mayan products help support OSSHP’s initiatives. Every purchase connects Guatemalan craft with a wider purpose: preserving heritage while contributing to social work in Guatemala.


From The Mayan: Handmade Worry Dolls from Guatemala

Since 1986, From The Mayan has produced and exported authentic Mayan worry dolls and handmade Guatemalan handicrafts.
