Introduction
Na Bolom, in San Cristóbal de las Casas, was the home of anthropologist Frans Blom and photographer Gertrude Blom and today safeguards the material culture, archives and oral history of Chiapas Indigenous peoples — above all the Lacandon Maya. Part museum, part library and part guesthouse, it is a gateway to the highlands' diverse cultures.
