Las Banquitas House of Culture

This small museum—the name refers to the little benches in a nearby riverside park—presents changing exhibitions on Orange Walk District's history and culture. Among the permanent displays are artifacts from Lamanai and Cuello. Las Banquitas is one of five House of Culture museums; the other four are in Belize City, Corozal Town, Benque Viejo, and Santa Elena, though the Belize City one rarely accepts visitors and is used for events. These museums are operated by NICH, the National Institute of Culture and History.
