"Celebrating Textile Traditions Oaxaca's textile museum opened its doors in 2008. The museum is set in a lovely restored colonial mansion in Oaxaca city's historical center on the same grounds as the San Pablo cultural center. The museum celebrates Oaxaca's rich and varied textile traditions, and also hosts occasional temporary exhibits showcasing textiles from other parts of the world. It is a small museum, but the collection is well-selected and there are frequently conferences and workshops given here as well. The gift shop at the front of the museum has beautiful high quality textile pieces and other items for sale."

We were dropped off here by our private driver on a Friday afternoon in early July 2023. It's a bit confusing to find but walk towards the alley way and it'll be in the opening in the middle of the building. It is free to get in and you only have access to the first two floors. It's a beautiful but very small library with art installations. There is a cafe across the way and the grass area is beautiful. It is right next to the Textiles Museum. It does not have air conditioning. Not worth a trip out here if you're not already here for something else. I didn't go to the Textiles Museum but I wish I went there instead of making a stop in this place instead. We stayed there for maybe 10 minutes. We explored the place the best we could but there just wasn't much there. Would have rather stayed home.

They renovated the convent to contain free museum exhibits and a library. The amount of exhibits was small but that’s what you would expect for free admission. It’s a great place to avoid the mid-day heat.

Entrance is free and it’s worth exploring! The building complex is a beautiful mix of old and new, and they’ve filled the spaces with contemporary art.

Enjoyable museum, and a well-done tranquil space in front of it.

One of the most beautiful places downtown Oaxaca, with great exhibitions and attention. There are also good restaurants inside. A must if you're visiting.

Beautiful restored convent with cultural center, library, cafe and restaurant. Great place to take a break from sightseeing. Interesting, if small, art installations as well.

Restored exconvent with periodic exhibitions, displays, and concerts. One of the many venues of the Harp Helu Foundation (FAHHO).

The current exhibition by Cuarto Suspiro is an amazing achievement of excellent craftsmanship, sweeping vision, and joyful creativity. Do not miss it... you will be enchanted and moved.
