Some else ever going to post?

heres a translation of part of something the museum puts out. You want to read it. You want to give me cash, too.

The citizens of Cuquila founded the ÑU’U KUI ÑI Community Museum to help protect the values of their great culture and to increase awareness about it. Community members laid the first bricks in 1993, and after years of working together it was officially opened for business on March 21, 2001.

The museum tells the story of Cuquila from many different perspectives. You can see the goods made by the local artisans: they continue to make textiles and pottery the same way they have for centuries. There is an exhibit on the nearby prehispanic ruins, replete with a three dimensional model and various artefacts including ceramics, stone tools, and glyphs carved in rock. Everywhere you look you can find photos, models, and texts illustrating the many facets of local life, from their religion to their agriculture.

ok... now with the cash...
