This little museum is brimming with handcrafted pieces that reflect Mexico’s rich artistic legacy. The pieces reflect different styles of Mexican folk art, the diverse regions where the handicrafts are made and the multifaceted cultural beliefs that inform the artwork.
English-language cassette tours of the museum are offered at the front desk, providing visitors with a glimpse into both the use and significance of the pieces on display.
Visiting a museum might not be your first choice when on vacation but it is definitely worth a look if you have any interest in Mexican culture.
