Has any one been to the Museum(NICH) in Belize City?

I am throwing caution to the wind and creating a walking tour in Belize City which will include the museum. There is a supposedly large collection of Mayan art. Has any one been there? I realize that most people will say that Belize is not the safest place to just wander, but I promise I will be with at least one other person, and the walk is not far.

This blog post is from an ex-pat American who lives in Belize- she visited the museum when they had the jade head from Altun Ha on special exhibit. The head is normally hidden away in the vaults (too big a security risk) but it gives a good impression of the museum:

The blogger is a single woman who walks around Belize City fairly regularly without major safety concerns (I do think she posts here on occasion as well). Have fun!

SingingPixie=thanks so much for the information. I am hoping that at least some of the Mayan art is on exhibit when we get there.:o
