The Ministry of Culture and Sports of Guatemala shared updates on November 4, 2025, regarding two cultural exhibitions and commemorative activities. The tweets highlight archaeological discoveries in Petén and a tribute to the workers of the National Palace of Culture.
In a post from November 4, 2025, the Ministry wrote: "#Petén | El Museo Regional Mundo Maya te invita a descubrir la Exposición Prehispánica Noh Petén, una ventana al pasado que revela los hallazgos arqueológicos de la Isla de Flores, el corazón histórico del Lago Petén Itzá. #ElPuebloDignoEsPrimero". This tweet promotes an exhibition at the Regional Museum Mundo Maya that focuses on pre-Hispanic findings from the Island of Flores in Lake Petén Itzá.
Later that day, another post stated: "#Guatemala | De quienes han hecho de este edificio… un Palacio. Este 4 de noviembre se inauguró la exposición fotográfica en honor a los 82 años del Palacio Nacional de la Cultura y a los 131 trabajadores que dan vida a este espacio cargado de historia." The message marks the inauguration of a photographic exhibition celebrating both the 82nd anniversary of the National Palace of Culture and its workforce.
In an additional tweet on November 4, Minister Liwy Grazioso is quoted: "Las columnas pueden resistir el tiempo, las paredes pueden narrar mil y una historias, pero es el trabajo humano el que les da sentido, el que los mantiene en pie.” aseguró la ministra @Liwy_Grazioso haciendo homenaje al compromiso de quienes cuidan este emblemático edificio." Her statement underscores the importance of human effort in preserving historical sites.
The National Palace of Culture is recognized as one of Guatemala’s most significant architectural landmarks and has served as a central site for governmental and cultural events since its completion over eight decades ago. The Region of Petén is known for its rich Maya heritage and ongoing archaeological research around Lake Petén Itzá and Isla de Flores has provided valuable insights into ancient civilizations.
