The Casa del Marqués del Apartado adds a new cultural attraction to the Historic Center: a FONART shop installed in a historic building facing the Templo Mayor archaeological zone. Inaugurated on December 18, 2025, this space brings Mexican folk art to one of the capital’s corridors with the highest tourist influx.
Its selection gathers certified crafts from the country’s 32 states and covers branches such as pottery, ceramics, textiles, glass, and woodwork. The diversity of pieces allows visitors to discover regional techniques, compare materials, and find decorative objects, accessories, and gifts with a Mexican identity.
The building also holds a significant cultural future: upon the store’s opening, the Ministry of Culture announced that it would be the first phase of a project intended to house the Museum of Textiles, then scheduled for 2026. The actual opening of that museum must be confirmed separately before including it as a venue already available to the public.
How to get there: República de Argentina 12, Historic Center, Cuauhtémoc borough. By Metro, the Zócalo/Tenochtitlan station on Line 2 allows you to walk there; you can also walk from Allende on the same line. Opening hours are Tuesday through Sunday, from 10:00 to 19:00 hours.
