An exhibition of masks from the different regions and communities of Mexico. The masks on display are mostly made of wood, clay, stone and papier mache and made in places where there is an indigenous population, especially in the south of Mexico. The masks are used in communal ceremonial dances, particularly for the celebration of patron saint day, Carnival and Christmas. These traditional masks are usually made by a mask maker and rarely by the dancers
