Museo de Arte Prehispánico de México Rufino Tamayo

Why is this closed for C-19 when Benito Juarez markets are open? Makes no sense.

This museum is beautiful and holds a super interesting collection of ancient pieces (statues, jewelry, vases, ornaments, objects used in rituals, etc) from the prehispanic epochs and from diverse sites in Mexico. The building is amazing and cool (really nice on a too-warm day). The whole collection was donated by Rufino Tamayo to the city of Oaxaca as a museum. It's really worth a visit. The exhibition rooms are special (you'll see why ;) and the atmosphere is dazzling

Well laid out exhibits. Thoughtful. Great afternoon visit to tie in with Mercado etc.

The museum is closed and will not open again until the end of the Corona epedemic.

As an artist and writer, I just loved this place. So much so, I just couldn't take photos out of respect for their work and I'm quite the crazy photographer. It's probably the best one I visited in Oaxaca and believe me when I say there are plenty. The quality of the craftsmanship is excellent and the prices match that. With older and modern pieces there is something for everyone here. Wheelchair friendly. Kid friendly - if they don't touch anything. Food nearby. Toilets available.
