Indigenous Museum. Former Customs of Peralvillo. — Attraction in Mexico City

La verdad uno espera una mayor producción indígena en las vitrinas. Solamente son dos salas medianas. Un poco de textiles, un poco de cestería, un poco de joyería y es todo. La museografía es buena, pero, nuevamente, para ser nuestro país un lugar con una gran cantidad de tesoros de producción indígena, este museo se queda corto. También observamos una exposición fotográfica temporal. Muy buena curaduría. Solamente era una sala. La verdad pensaría dos veces...
