Museo de la Medicina Maya

This space pays homage to the various techniques and practices of indigenous traditional medicine of the Tzotzil and Tzeltal peoples in Chiapas. The exhibit style is à la 1950s (that is, dated), but for those interested in natural healing and culture, it's very interesting.
