I visited the Museum of Popular Art (Museo de Arte Popular) in central Mexico City and was genuinely surprised by the sheer amount and variety of crafts on display—there’s folk art everywhere, from textiles to ceramics and regional pieces. What I loved most was seeing how many works reflect everyday life (very “Vida cotidiana”), like the artists were capturing the world they were living in, in real time. There are tons of truly cool pieces, and the little “gossiping dog” (“perrito chismoso”) absolutely cracked me up.
