I found out that Javier Marin had an exhibit in Cuernavaca, and decided to check it out. The MMAC is a wonderful cultural space, it’s beautiful garden with a permanent exhibit of work by Juan Soriano is perfect to enjoy the sculptures, the vegetation, the calm ambience... The areas for children’s activities is excellent, my niece and nephew adore the museum. Both the current temporary exhibits by incredible Mexican artists Angela Gurria and Javier Marin are not to be missed.

This free museum specializes in folk art and crafts of the Morelos state. I saw fantastic paper mache masks and full size sculptures. There is also an exhibit of photos of native Morelos in ceremonial costumes for festivals. To round out my visit, there is an exhibit of crafts in wood and textile. All in all, this museum is a quick but satisfying view of indigenous Morelos life.
