This superb collection of Mexican handicrafts has been expertly collected and curated by an American couple who scour the country on regular trips to make sure they get the very best masks, ceramics, rugs, carvings, Huichol and paintings available. The showroom is an annex of their own country home just outside San Miguel, so appointments are essential.
