A free small museum displaying folk arts of Mexico. You can learn the history and meaning of each folk art genre. A wonderful place to visit if you are wandering around in the city

Wonderful Folk Art museum. Small but well worth the visit. They have both a temporary and permanent exhibits. I enjoyed the jaguars in the bathroom showcase.

Wonderful small musuem of folk art including traditional and hand crafted clothing exhibit. Well curated with descriptions in both Spanish and English. Friendly staff as well. Highly recommended.

Amazing little cute museum with wonderful curatorial staff and small exhibitions on popular arts - textiles, carving, ceramics. Definitely worth a quick visit!

Known also as "Casa Molina" after the last private owners. It's a small two-story palace with Academic Style. Since 2007 it's been the Folk Art Museum which includes around 600 items.

Cute little folk art museum. They have crafts from all over the Mexico. The 1st floor has traditionally woven fabrics exhibition.In 2nd floor, they have many kinds of crafts. Really worth visiting.

Stunning exhibits of “folk art” from different regions of Mexico. The work is beautiful and obviously created with love and care. So much personality in many of the pieces. Definitely worth a visit while in Merida. The house the museum is in has an interesting history which adds to the experience of browsing the exhibits. And it is free!

Fun to check out if you have some down time in Merida. Also free!

I lived in a near-by hotel and I wandered around today and came here. For free-admission place, you can not complain. This is not worth someone driving here just to see it. If you want to see how the local folks dress up and see some folk arts, you will see them here.

There are 5 rooms, 3 of them are about típical costumes from the region, everything is super explained and the staff is very nice.
