The pieces now on display in a Centro Cultural de Ajijic, donated in 2015, date from 900- 700 BC
Vessels found in different regions of Lake Chapala.
Sofía Medeles (Ajijic, Jal.)– The director of the Cultural Center of Ajijic (CCA), Alejandro Martínez, invites residents to see the pre-Hispanic era pieces displayed in the Museum Room, located near the theater in the cultural center
The pieces were donated in 2015 by Mr. Sergio Díaz, among others. The collection was started when Diaz was director of the Efrén González cultural complex, according to information published in past editions of Semanario Laguna.
Alejandro Martínez said that the Museum Room has a very interesting permanent exhibition, since the pieces belong to different regions of Lake Chapala and form a complete collection that includes necklaces, bracelets, incense burners, vessels, figurines and arrowheads, among other artifacts common in the area of Lake Chapala.
«This Museum Room is near the theater, but few people are aware of it or visit it. We are promoting it so that people know it is there and see the treasures it holds. Visitors can come any day, and we will gladly show it to them», said Alejandro Martínez , adding that he wants people to learn about the roots of the native inhabitants and the history of the town of Ajijic.
He explained that several of the pieces there are already classified and have been certified by the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH). The pieces date from between 900 and 700 BC; each piece is clearly dated.
The CCA is open Monday to Saturday from 10am to 3pm and 4pm to 7pm, phone: (376) 766 2373.
