Well worth a visit. The exhibits of textiles and customs in Mexico and Hispanic regions are very detailed and comprehensive. The building entrance is behind the market so might be hard to find. Rather few visitors which is nice. Building itself is lovely too with a beautiful square and old well. The guard inside is a lovely guy who does knitting in spare time for sales.

FANTASTIC museum! One of the best museums dedicated to textiles I have ever been to (and I have been to many in many countries). Huge collection, wonderful service by the staff; you can see the reverence the Mayan textiles and its history are treated with. A favorite place in SanCris, and in México. GRACIAS for allowing us to witness the talent of such a marvelous culture.

If you want to learn about San Cristobal's history this is a good place to start. They have in exhibition ceramic sculptures of the first civilization in the state also they have artifacts from the Spanish Conquest, but the best and my favourite part is the Textile exhibition, it's not a big exhibition but it has a lot of different textiles from Chiapas and from Guatemala.

Incredible experience! One of the highlights of my trip to San Cristóbal! It’s fabulous to see the talent the pattern makers possess and it’s free! Don’t miss it 🤩🕺🏻

A beautiful collection of Mayan textiles in a nicely renovated building. I really enjoyed the museum, the videos (in Spanish) are really informative and it's fascinating to see the work and skill that goes into making the garments.

The best textile museum I've been to in Mexico, absolutely top quality. Free to get in. Excellent ancient relics. Do not miss out.

The "Centro de Textiles del Mundo Maya" was an amazing experience. We came on a Sunday so the admission fee was free (0$ only on Sundays). It was a beautiful collection of textiles and artifacts from Guatemala and Mexico, I spent hours looking through their amazing collection of fabrics and weavings and quilts.

(Translated by Google) Excellent place to give us an idea of ​​the cultural richness of the different towns of Chiapas. (Original) Excelente lugar para darnos una idea de la riqueza cultural de los distintos pueblos de Chiapas.

Exquisite selection of huipiles, traditional garments worn by indigenous women and many well curated cultural treasures. Lamentably this investment seems entirely geared towards non-natives.

(Translated by Google) Worthwhile museum if you are interested in knowing the history and manufacturing process of Mexican clothing (Original) Museo que vale la pena si le interesa conocer la historia y el proceso de fabricación de la ropa mexicana

Wonderful collection brilliantly displayed.

(Translated by Google) Wonderful! A little promoted site in the center of San Cristobal. Opaque a little by the many craft stalls abroad, but it is well worth visiting. Only the building is beautiful. And the textile collection is frankly fabulous. Much of the Mayan world is represented there. Good for the diffusion that Banamex gives to Mexican culture 👍. (Original) Maravilloso! Un sitio poco promocionado en pleno centro de San Cristobal. Opacado un poco por los numerosos puestos de artesanías en el exterior, pero vale mucho la pena visitarlo. Tan sólo el edificio es bello. Y la colección de textiles es francamente fabulosa. Gran parte del mundo maya está representado ahí. Bien por la difusión que da Banamex a la cultura mexicana 👍.

The textile showcase is the main event here, its on the second floor, incredible designs, definitely open all the drawers. I went on a thursday, entrance was free and there was no waiting.

The ratings are not as accurate because some areas were closed due to covid and parts of the building were under construction. The parts where we got to see the textiles were very nice only behind glass. The drawers where they store more designs are closed due to covid, which is the sad part. It is free for locals only, about 60 Mexican pesos for tourists.

Must see if you want to understand more of the people you meet on the street, understand how they dress and value what you see/buy locally. Very professional setup in a beautiful renovated building.

Absolutely stunning examples of Mayan textiles and clothing. Also teaches you about the history, materials, and types of clothing throughout the region. Highly recommend.

I geeked out a lot at this museum! Amazing examples of weaving and embroidery! Loved it.

Beautiful textiles. Disappointed that the local language of the people who created the pieces is nowhere to be found, let alone have equal representation.

Very nice display Free entrance No english Still, worth a visit.

Beautiful building, and free entrance! The permanent collection is worth spending some time there.

Excellent museum with top-notch exhibits; I highly recommend!

Unfortunately the museum is closed and has been for a while. No one could tell me when it would open.

I don't work in textiles, I am not an artisan or a seamstress and I don't knit or embroider. But I found this an excellent museum to visit for two main reasons: I learned a little about the whole topic by watching the three very good, short videos at the beginning (only in Spanish) that talk about the project of restoration of the ex-convent where the museum is housed, the nature of textiles across history and the region, and finally the making of textiles by hand. The other aspect I appreciate is how small it is, mainly consisting of one large room with plenty of samples of different colors, techniques and traditions. All the information was in Spanish though. It's an incredibly well funded venture, encompassing more than just a museum. They have restored the ex-convent to house the museum and several other expositions. Through workshops and education, they seek to not only preserve traditional methods of weaving and tinting, but also to teach local indigenous people groups alternative techniques. Visiting this museum was time well spent (and it's free entry), and I can certainly now appreciate the incredible skill and time that goes into each hand made item of clothing.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful crafts, delicious tortillas, excellent and beautiful work of the people who make them. (Original) Artesanías hermosas, ricas tortillitas, excelente y lindo trabajo de las personas que las realizan.

I loved it thank you for the personal tour. :D

Worth visiting take your time there is so much to see. The films had English subtitles and there were a few descriptions in English.

Fantastic. Well worth visiting!

(Translated by Google) It's closed since the pandemic started (Original) Está cerrado desde que comenzó la pandemia

(Translated by Google) An excellent place with several points to admire the architecture of the place; well-designed rooms allow you to appreciate the different styles and textile fabrics of the Mayan zone. You really need more than a day to fully appreciate it. You can also spend a pleasant time in the silence and tranquility of its corridors. Undoubtedly, the archaeological exhibition with the Jade mask as the most striking element of this section of the museum, will leave more than one, amazed. (Original) Un excelente lugar con varios puntos para admirar la arquitectura del lugar; las salas bien diseñadas te permiten aprecias los distintos estilos y tejidos textiles de la zona Maya. En verdad necesitas más de un día para poder apreciarlo completamente. También puedes pasar un rato agradable en el silencio y tranquilidad de sus pasillos. Sin duda, la exhibición de arqueológica con la máscara de Jade como elemento más llamativo de esta sección del museo, dejará va más de uno, maravillado.

This was the best part of my Chiapas trip! The displays were top quality, and opening all the drawers was like Christmas revealing another colorful surprise! It is not huge in size, but the collection is incredible!! I may go back for another peak tomorrow. The shop adjacent, which sells for a women's weaving cooperative is worth the visit, also. The prices are much higher than what you will find on the street, but if you are looking for top quality, this is the place to find it. There are other interesting displays in the museum. Access is behind the cathedral. Google Maps is accurate.The textiles are on the second floor, but there is elevator access.
