MUSEO BELBER

Small but mighty museum chock full of gorgeous examples of silver jewelery, colorful folk art and a variety of beautiful regional dresses! I wanted to take EVERYTHING home! Lucky for me and everyone else who ends up feeling that way after visiting, they have a well stocked shop!

I am absolutely amazed that this private collection is even in existence. William Spratling collection. WONDERFUL! Also textiles, silver u0026 folk art. Come see!

Hey, It's free! So really should have no complaints.... This is a private collection...but with no information or explanations in any language. The jewelry and other stuff took up large spaces, but the traditional clothing was all crammed into one small room. The mannequins were so close together and 3 deep, making it impossible to enjoy the embroidery and weaving involved. I love displays of traditional clothing, but this one was displayed so thoughtlessly-- I wondered about this Belber Jimenez and his "collection". The small antique shop that you go through to enter (even though there is a big entry diectly to the museum rooms Lol), had some lovely things and some junk. Display was lacking for some stuff. I saw a pair of antique earrings I really liked, but the older women 'working' there didn't know the price. She had the security guard take a picture of them and send an inquiry on his phone. After quite awhile, I gave her my (Mexican) phone number and told her I'd be in Oaxaca for 3 more days. Never heard back...in the meantime, found earrings at another place.

A small museum with plenty of silver jewelry displayed as well as some beautiful dresses of the different regions with various styles of exquisite embroidery. Photos are not allowed. There are antiques available for purchase as well as antique clothing.

Wonderful small collection, mostly jewelry, both traditional and inspired by traditional. Attached antique store very good, too.

Super friendly staff, cool textiles room, and some dusty jewelry. Give it 20-30 minutes if you're in the area.
