Museo Textil de Oaxaca, Textile museum in central Oaxaca de Juárez, Mexico.
The Museo Textil de Oaxaca displays regional fabrics, traditional garments, and woven materials in a restored colonial building in the historic district. The collection shows pieces that represent textile traditions and handcraft skills from different parts of Mexico.
The museum was founded in 2008 and occupies a building that holds centuries of Mexican textile traditions. This establishment helped preserve knowledge of regional craftsmanship and make it accessible to the public.
The textiles here tell the story of skills and methods passed down through generations of local craftspeople. You can see how traditional techniques appear in every piece and understand what these works mean to the community.
Visiting is best in the cooler morning hours, when the colonial building is less crowded. Workshops on traditional weaving techniques and natural dyeing processes run regularly and allow you to learn directly from local craftspeople.
The museum works with local weavers who demonstrate their workspaces and techniques to offer genuine insight into daily craft work. This direct connection to working artisan traditions sets it apart from purely display-focused collections.
