I've been through this museum a few times, mostly for evening activities, but taking a friend through recently, I discovered, in a vault containing a wide assortment of stamps and baseball-related miscellanea, an incredible display of letters from Frida Kahlo to her California surgeon.

Didn't think I would enjoy it so much. The space is beautiful...an oasis of calm and tranquility in busy Oaxaca...
