Museo Nacional de la Máscara — Attraction in Centro Histórico

We had an incredible visit to the Mask Museum, and it quickly became a highlight of our trip. The museum is very affordable and offers a fascinating look into the history and artistry of masks from Mexico and around the world. The collection is diverse and beautifully curated, making it both educational and entertaining for visitors of all ages.

One of the most fun parts was the luchador room, where we saw a variety of wrestling masks and learned about the rich tradition of lucha libre. My kids were thoroughly entertained and fascinated by the colorful masks and the stories behind them.

The museum is housed in a stunning building, adding to the overall experience. It’s a perfect spot for families, history enthusiasts, or anyone interested in the vibrant culture of masks. We left feeling inspired and more connected to this unique art form....

Also some more descriptions and visuals of how the masks were/are actually used would be great. Only some of the signs are in English as the rest are...

Also, it is super cheap (just $20 Mexican) and they also sell masks for just about 600...
