Lonely Planet review

The top-class Museo Rufino Tamayo was donated to Oaxaca by its most famous artist, the Zapotec Rufino Tamayo (1899−1991). In a fine 17th-century building, the collection focuses on the aesthetic qualities of ancient artifacts and traces artistic developments in preconquest times. It has some truly beautiful pieces and is strong on the Preclassic era and lesser-known civilizations such as those of Veracruz and western Mexico.
