Museum of Oaxacan Cultures
Explore Oaxaca's archaeology and cultural history inside a former Dominican convent, where galleries, cloisters and the scale of the building deserve a substantial visit.
The museum brings objects from across Oaxaca into a setting that is itself part of the region's history. Archaeology, ethnography and later material provide different ways into a culturally diverse state. Its former convent rooms and circulation spaces are worth observing alongside the displays, making this a more expansive visit than a single collection room.
