Probably Tegucigalpa's most impressive museum. This place combines paleontology and natural history, as well as detailing Honduras' pre-Columbian and modern development. Check out Copan Virtual: a 3-D virtual tour of the ruins of Copan as they looked in their heyday. Video presentations of continental drift and of the ancient Maya ball game are also fascinating to watch. This museum is definitely worth a visit.
