Upstairs at the Palace

We now return to the Palace of Iturbide where Alejandro and I saw an outstanding exhibit of Nativity scenes.  After seeing hundreds of Nativity scenes from Mexico, we went upstairs where there were still more from other countries, primarily from Spain and Latin America.


A Brazilian set carved from wood





Ceramic Holy Family from Spain




A Nativity scene from Chile




Clay figures from Paraguay


Figures from Peru dressed in traditional Andean attire








Nativity figures from Madrid, Spain




A Nativity "mola", a handmade textile that is a traditional art form in Panama




An enameled cross from the Dominican Republic




Clay figures from Guatemala




Bread dough figures from Ecuador




An outstanding exhibition for the holiday season!
