Museo Rufino Tamayo, Oaxaca

[1] The museum contains collections of pre-Columbian art once owned by artist Rufino Tamayo.

One of the chief purposes of Tamayo and the museum was to collect the historic pieces, and to protect them from entering the illegal artifact traders market.

Tamayo left the museum to his native state of Oaxaca, for his fellow Mexicans awareness of their rich cultural heritage.
