Oaxaca Graphic Arts Institute

Quiet free gallery with a nice patio and library. The library is closed on Sunday

It is a beautiful and relaxing place. They have tables you can use for meetings or doing some work. Their book collection is very good. I wish I had plenty of time there to read more. They have beautiful plants and lockers to leave your stuff. There was also a gallery. The restrooms were clean.

Not so secret hidden gem if you're looking for a free and quiet place to work or read. Pretty empty usually and the space is picture perfect.

Relaxing vibe. Library was closed on Sunday, but opens during the week. Free admission. The building is very charming and the artwork on exhibit is quite varied and very local. This is a great place to come to to get a sense of the art scene.

ASTONISHING collection of books relating to nearly every facet of art and design you can imagine, contemporary and historic. This library is an unparalleled treasure, and its very existence illustrates the value and significance of art and craft in Oaxaca. Room after room after room of texts covering art and art history, graphic design and designers, interior design, architecture, and Mexico's own extensive textile, arts, and crafts movements. Everything is clearly catalogued in a building whose garden and quiet reading rooms inspire and soothe and educate you all at once. Of the 15-25 museums and sights i packed into my 6-day stay in Oaxaca, this museum was my absolute favorite experience and i would return just to spend a full week in this library.

Walked here on a Saturday afternoon in early July 2023. The institute was free of charge to enter. It had one very small gallery and a library. My partner and I explored the facility and it took us all of five minutes to see the place. Would not recommend coming here if you're looking for some time to kill. Although it was small, I did find it to be very cute. Drop by if you're in the area but do not go out of your way. This place is mostly for students looking for a place to study. The courtyard was very quaint. Would not recommend coming here if you're a tourist. I did not notice if the place has air conditioning but I doubt they do. Beautiful place to come here to study though. I did not see any other tourists there.

Really loved it in here. The book collection is amazing and the staff really respect how the books are treated which is nice, there's also a sweet little shaded courtyard out the back with plenty of seating so you can take a break from the hot sun. (And also free toilets!) In indoor art collection is also amazing, so much to look at.

Incredible art library! The best! The house of artist Francisco Toledo.
