Museo del Barro y Casa de Cultura, Clay art museum in Metepec, Mexico
The Museo del Barro showcases traditional Mexican pottery through permanent exhibitions featuring works from regional artists and master craftsmen of Estado de Mexico.
Founded in 2012, this cultural center emerged as a response to preserve and document the centuries-old pottery traditions of Metepec and surrounding regions.
The museum houses winning pieces from the National Tree of Life Pottery Contest, which has gathered artists from across Mexico since 1992.
Located at Avenida Estado de México 10, the museum offers free admission and operates Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
A notable exhibit features a clay mural created by 82 local elementary school students, ages 8 to 11, representing their connection to regional art.
