The temporary exhibition "Heart of Heaven, Heart of Earth" was inaugurated on August 4, 2010 at the National Museum of Natural History "Jorge Ibarra" in Guatemala City.

The exhibition was coordinated by Regina de Riojas, from Guatihemala Place of Trees, with the support of the Fundación Defensores de la Naturaleza. Sponsors include LA RUTA MAYA, DUWEST, El Volcan, and Occidente Financial Group.

The exhibit aims to present the importance of Guatemala's natural resources and their management in a sustainable way, revealing the great diversity flora and fauna of our country. Using the Maya worldview as a base, it is presented through a trip that starts with the Creation    -from a scientific standpoint- and the Creation beliefs of the Popol Vuh -the sacred book of the K'iche maya.  It is organized into four sections: Dawn, with the rise of Mayan civilization in Mesoamerica; Life and Balance, with biodiversity and sustainable use of natural resources; Darkness, with the problems we are experiencing today, and A New Awakening, with the hope for a better tomorrow.

During the opening ceremony, eleven objects of precolumbian art -from the collection of LA RUTA MAYA- had their debut presentation as part of the displays. Among the archaeological objects, the public enjoyed looking at figurines, effigy-vessels in the shape of animals, a sculpture of a jaguar, and a stone yoke carved with two intertwined serpents, illustrating topics such as animal symbolism among the Maya, the jaguar and its cosmological importance, and the ball game, among others.

"Heart of Heaven, Heart of Earth" is open to the public indefinitely. The exhibition includes replicas of precolumbian art objects from the collection of La Ruta Maya, which will be changed from time to time.
