I never knew that it was possible to be as interested in tribal masks as I was the day I visited the Mask Museum. This is an amazing collection that is worthy of any world class museum. I highly recommend you see for yourself.

A fascinating couple runs the B &B as well as the Mask Museum. They clearly have a deep love for and knowledge of Mexico, culture and traditions. One of the very best things to do in San Miguel.
