Since its opening to the public in March 2006, the MAP has set itself to be an indisputable reference in Mexican popular art, promoting it through its permanent, temporary, and traveling exhibitions; as well as workshops for children, artisans, and the general public; competitions, seminars, and activities outside the walls.
Today it is a magnificent showcase of roots, traditions, and artistic abilities, which seeks to revalue its wealth and the work of nearly eight million people involved in artisanal processes, for the knowledge and enjoyment of current and future generations.
The public finds in the MAP a unique space of its kind; that when visiting it, it is as if you were taking a tour of the different regions of Mexico, possessing their own natural and social environments, customs, traditions, and aesthetics. It allows you to discover the close relationship between the work of artisans and artists, with respect to the exuberant biodiversity located in our territory. In addition to raising awareness in society about the complexity of supplies and the manufacture of handcrafted pieces.
