Mexico City, Folk Art Shopping

The best collection of zany figurines and ceramics curated from over the country. I’ve got a pair of cartoony cowboys on horseback and a terracotta band of animals.

An outstanding museum downtown with a gift shop to match.

A go-to crafts market if you’re downtown. A lot of schlock in the warren of stalls, but good for little gifts to bring home for friends.

Museum quality pieces emblematic of their regions. Was recommended to me by a friend’s starchitect mom who has the most sophisticated, sleek black tree of life.

The cool kids gallery in town. The prints and pieces from young Latin artists are why you’re here, but there’s a great corner of 90s slime aesthetic ceramics.

A government-run operation with beautiful pieces and no gallery mark-up. This might just be my best tip.
