Fodor's Expert Review Fonart

Under the auspices of the National Council for Culture and Arts, the National Fund for Promoting Arts and Crafts operates five stores in and around Mexico City, with more around the country. Prices are fixed and high, but the diverse, top-quality folk art and handcrafted furnishings represent some of Mexico's best artisans. The best location is downtown, west of Alameda Park. Major sales at near-wholesale prices are held from time to time at the main store-warehouse.
