Centro de Textiles del Mundo Maya, Southern Mexico, Mexico

Truly an amazing experience.
We really loved this experience. So many beautiful textiles to see. During our visit they also had an amazing installation of marionettes and puppets on the lower level. Also, the Templo de Santo Domingo de Guzmán next to the museum is probably the most beautiful (IMO) of all of the churches and cathedrals in San Cristobol de las Casas. A must see! But, be forewarned, this place is not easy to find! The tourist map and google maps took us pretty far off off the beaten path. We gave up and accidentally found it on our way back to the city center. The whole property is encompassed by artisan and curio tents. It's hard to find an access point. But, don't give up! It's worth the adventure!

Highly recommended!
Exellent museum. Gorgeous examples of Mayan handicrafts and artistry. The museum is in a lovely former cloister and the displays are well designed and user friendly. Be sure to look into every drawer! This is my third visit in 20 years and I hope to return again. Another bonus is that it is right beside an HUGE open air market with similar merchandise. But visit the museum first before shopping. (The museum’s gift shop sells amazing pieces, but at a mark-up.)

Amazing Textile Museum
A wonderful collection of textiles. If you love textiles, be sure to give yourself time to really take a look and enjoy. The museum shop is not always open when it says so I missed the opportunity to make several purchases before I had to leave. I would definitely go back to visit!!
