Fodor's Expert Review Museo Huichol Wixarica de Zapopan
Zapopan
Specialty Museum
The Huichol Indians of northern Jalisco and the neighboring states of Zacatecas and Nayarit are famed for their fierce independence and exquisite beadwork and yarn "paintings." This small museum has rather hokey mannequins wearing the intricately embroidered clothing of both men and women. Bilingual placards explain the Huichol religion and world view. The gift shop sells a small inventory of beaded items, prayer arrows, and god's eyes.
