★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful textiles. Disappointed that the local language of the people who created the pieces is nowhere to be found, let alone have equal representation.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Must see if you want to understand more of the people you meet on the street, understand how they dress and value what you see/buy locally. Very professional setup in a beautiful renovated building.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A beautiful collection of Mayan textiles in a nicely renovated building. I really enjoyed the museum, the videos (in Spanish) are really informative and it's fascinating to see the work and skill that goes into making the garments.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Well worth a visit. The exhibits of textiles and customs in Mexico and Hispanic regions are very detailed and comprehensive. The building entrance is behind the market so might be hard to find. Rather few visitors which is nice. Building itself is lovely too with a beautiful square and old well. The guard inside is a lovely guy who does knitting in spare time for sales.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The ratings are not as accurate because some areas were closed due to covid and parts of the building were under construction. The parts where we got to see the textiles were very nice only behind glass. The drawers where they store more designs are closed due to covid, which is the sad part.
It is free for locals only, about 60 Mexican pesos for tourists.
