    This fascinating museum highlights the richness and diversity of cultures that have left their mark on the region over the centuries. Founded in 1965, the museum occupies the imposing building of the former Convent of Santo Domingo de Guzmán, a colonial structure that in itself is an architectural masterpiece. The museum's rooms house an impressive collection of archaeological artifacts, crafts, textiles and objects of daily life that offer a deep insight into the history and cultural identity of Oaxaca. Highlights include exhibits dedicated to the Zapotec and Mixtec cultures, which dominated the region before the arrival of the Spanish. In addition to permanent exhibitions, the museum organizes cultural events, workshops and educational activities that involve the local community and visitors.

The exterior of the cathedral captivates with its ornate façade, decorated with intricate details carved from local green quarry.

Great walking tour of Oaxaca

Published on Jun, 2024

Excellent tour, Sylvia was very informative and shared many things we would not have been aware of about the museums and other points of interest. We would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to learn more about Oaxaca.

Santo Domingo museum and grounds, Lavatorio, organic market, easy scenic walking, excellent explanations by guide

Excellent Introduction to Oaxaca

Published on Feb, 2020

Gabriel gave a terrific walking tour of the history of Oaxaca and its people. He was well versed and engaging. I'd highly recommend this tour for a first day in the city as it helps orient you to the grid layout. It's also a great tour to have following a tour of Monte Alban. Got a couple of tailored recommendations from Gabriel based on my interest (Mixtec cuisine and gold filigree jewelry). Thanks for a great morning!

A walking tour of historical district

Published on Nov, 2019

I had a little surprise as description didn't mention that excursion is all walking - that is 3,5 hours. Mostly because the areas that we visited aren't accessible by transport. I came prepared and I had good time. Our guide Antonio did great job managing a bi-lingual group.

This was a three hour walking tour...

Published on Dec, 2017

This was a three hour walking tour of important places within Oaxaca City. Our guide, Antonio, brought the many items in the
museum to life. He was VERY knowledgeable and listened carefully to our many questions, which his presentation generated! Thank you, Antonio!
