The main theme of the digital museum is the history of thecommunity of Copan Ruinas from ancient times to the present. While other museums atCopan Ruinas are managed by the Honduran Institute of Anthropology and History( IHAH)-which is a national organization of the country-, the digital museum is co-managedbetween the municipality of Copan Ruinas and IHAH in which community's idea plays apositive role in the installment and management of the exhibition.
