Museo Nacional de la Estampa

Facing the Alameda Central, this museum is devoted to Mexican printmaking and the graphic arts, a tradition central to the country's political and popular culture. Its collection ranges from colonial-era engravings to the biting satirical prints of José Guadalupe Posada and the socially engaged workshops of the twentieth century. Galleries explain techniques from woodcut to lithography while tracing the medium's role in revolution and everyday imagery, an art form often overlooked by visitors.
