We visited this cultural center located in Izamal, in the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico. We spent some vacation days and New Year’s Eve in Mérida, the capital of the Mexican state of Yucatán, and took advantage of it to go to the town of Izamal, located around 40 minutes to the east of Merida.
Just across the square from the Izamal monastery, this cultural center and museum showcases popular art from around Mexico. Explanatory cards in English give an excellent summary. Its excellent shop sells fair-trade-certified crafts made by artisans from about 40 indigenous communities. Any purchase you make is a direct source of income for rural indigenous families.
These are some photos I took while visiting it:
