Oaxaca Orchids Bloom at Museo Franz Mayer!
đ¸
Like every year, we join forces with the Mexican Orchidology Association for the traditional orchid exhibition and sale, this time dedicated to the species that bloom in various areas of the state of Oaxaca.
The exhibit honors Franz Mayer's passion for orchid care and collecting, a hobby that led him to become a founding member of the Association and remains alive in some of the specimens you can admire in our central cloister.
From May 2 to 10, 2026, we invite you to explore the cloister, learn more about orchid cultivation and conservation, and participate in the program of activities, talks, and workshops accompanying this edition.
Remember! Your admission ticket to the expo-sale also includes:
đźď¸ General admission to the museum and regular exhibitions, such as:
đĄ They wanted a house: I suggested creating a home
đď¸ The craft of ink: Ali Kazma
đLibrary, cloister, and cafeteria
