The textile showcase is the main event here, its on the second floor, incredible designs, definitely open all the drawers. I went on a thursday, entrance was free and there was no waiting.

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.

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.

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.

Absolutely stunning examples of Mayan textiles and clothing. Also teaches you about the history, materials, and types of clothing throughout the region. Highly recommend.

I geeked out a lot at this museum! Amazing examples of weaving and embroidery! Loved it.

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