National Museum of Popular Culture

20 Best Museums in Mexico City | Condé Nast Traveler

"Located on a tree-lined street in Mexico City's pretty Coyoacán neighborhood, this museum focuses on the many cultures and peoples of Mexico. The exhibitions are often interactive and reflective of present-day customs, showcasing everything from altars for Day of the Dead celebrations to collections of textiles and folk art. It's more well-known among locals than international tourists, so you'll see many Mexicans visiting during big holidays, like Day of the Dead, Christmas, and Easter, when impressive seasonal exhibitions show how these events are celebrated across the country. They are also often accompanied by an outside market and live performances." - Susannah Rigg
