Museo Nacional de la Máscara

Top choice in San Luis Potosí


This superb museum displays a fascinating collection of ceremonial masks from across Mexico and around the world, and does a good job at explaining the evolution of pre-Columbian masks in Mexico. There are good descriptions in English of the Mexican masks though explanations of the non-Mexican masks could definitely be improved upon.
