The Zoque Museum of Tuxtla Gutiérrez was inaugurated in 2006. This museum aims to appreciate the elements that identify the Zoque culture, appreciate the different dances they performed and the clothing they used, as well as the history of this ethnic group. In the museum we can also see the house, which traditionally has a thatched roof, wattle and daub walls, and a dirt floor. Currently, this is only found in the most remote ranches, since it has been replaced by constructions made of sheet metal, cement, brick, and stone.
