If you're serious about textiles, no matter if you're a beginner or a serious aficionando, a stop to the textile room at the Belber Jimenez Museum on Matamoros is always delightful. Described as "a little gem" and " a lovely surprise" on Trip Advisor, we couldn't agree more. Sometimes there are short explanations with the work although lately not a sign in site. This was the room we were in when someone asked me, "But do people really wear these?" and I answered, "Pretty much all the time you see people wearing regional textiles in Oaxaca". And it's true. Still there are some great pieces in this collection that you rarely see on the streets. Plus it's OK to gawk. Worth a visit.
