You enter the unique museum at Copan through a long tunnel. At the end of the tunnel, you are faced with a recreation of one of the buildings, painted to look as it would have back in its heyday. The building sits below an opening in the roof. Around the building are two stories of covered passageways. The walls are covered in reliefs and sculptures from the ruins.
The actual stella recovered from the ruins are also in the museum. The ones outside are mostly recreations.
This place has to win the prize for the least stuffy museum ever.
