Sharing to honour with the Museum of Popol Vuh, this might be the reason why a country with so much archaeology has so little to show. From recent data I can see they have expanded their exhibition drastically from the time of my visit in 2004, and one can only hope they keep on expanding.
Still much is in the hands of the northern hemisphere countries, if they'll be willing to return items in their collections of dubious acquisition.
Nevertheless, there are gems to see, like the famous Piedras Negras Throne.
