Mexico 2019 - Museo Rufino Tamayo

For those lovers of art and antiquities, the Museo Rufino Tomayo is a real treasure that combines both.  Rufino Tamayo is one of the most prominent artists in Mexico and is from Oaxaca.  This museum was created to exhibit his collection.

"He collected these objects on his travels through Mexico, and he wanted to be sure that this heritage remained in the country and that it be on display for the general public to see and appreciate it.

Tamayo selected the pieces based on their artistic, rather than archaeological, value. The exhibits are not grouped in chronological or geographical sequence but rather according to overarching themes.  The collection contains around one thousand pieces, all of them interesting, but a few of them are exquisite."

I winnowed them down to the ones I like the best but there are still too many for one post:
