I loved this little museum! This is an easy stop if youre in the area to go to casa azul. The entry is super cheap and so worth the hour or so of your time! The special exhibit was so fascinating, i loved learning more about the punk political scene in cdmx. It was so wonderful to have a museum celebrate the importance of a space like alicia was. The descriptions are only in spanish, as a heads up! Its a little confusing to navigate around the exhibits, dont miss the exhibit after the temporary one! They also had a cute market while i visited, such a nice surprise! Also recommend the bookstore if youre looking for any interesting books or other media in spanish- the topics are quite extensive!

Get to know a little about popular culture in Mexico at the Museo Nacional de Culturas Populares (National Museum of Popular Culture). It's an historic building showing temporary exhibitions about popular culture. Currently there's an exhibition about the alternative arts venue Multiforo Cultural Alicia, an exhibition of work by Felipe Ehrenberg and his inspiration from Mexican culture and a photo series on cultural diversity. There is an entry fee but it is nominal. For non-Spanish speakers be away didactics and information is not also displayed in English so have the Google Translate app ready. Also, you will have to cloak larger bags.

If you are in Coyoacan this is a must see. Right now there is a colourful exhibit of ornamental cats from Peru. The Mexican masks are amazing. The room showing the different costumes worn at various Mexican festivals was beautiful and fun. I also enjoyed the photography exhibit highlighting various food and dishes in different regions across the country. This museum is a true gem!

This museum is small but extremely affordable and very informative! Expect to learn about the culture of Mexico’s indigenous people, their religious practices, and the social fabric that makes up daily life in the country. It is conveniently located nearby other major attractions in Coyoacán, so definitely stop by if you’re in the area!

Wow! This is a SMALL and FREE museum. Literally in one door and out the other, of a small house. But inside there are so many cultural masks! They are used for dances and ceremonies. At the end there is a station to make your own little doll with a mask! When I was there, the materials were all used so I couldn't make anything :(.

Iniciaré con la definición de cultura popular: la cual, es un compendio de manifestaciones artísticas y folclóricas que emana directamente el pueblo mexicano, y está arraigada en las tradiciones, valores y creencias de la gente, y se ha transmitido de generación en generación a lo largo de su historia. Dentro del museo encontrarás manifestaciones de más de 50 culturales mexicanas, comenzado con fotografías de diferentes danzas, y después mascaras representativas de cada entidad, agrupadas por zona delimitadas geográficamente y que entre ellas comparten, además de la ubicación, otras características de interés, también trajes utilizados en dichas danzas y bailes; al fondo encontrarás reconocimientos y placas conmemorativas que a los largo de sus 40 años el museo ha ganado. El recinto cierra hasta las 7 de la tarde y su tiempo de recorrido es de máximo 3 horas con una inversión de 18 pesos mexicanos.
