Why we like it
We appreciate places that let you see craft in action rather than just behind glass. This museum balances the historical side of mask-making with the living, messy reality of making them — and the chance to handle and wear the pieces yourself sets it apart from a static display. It's the kind of place that sticks with travelers who care about how things are actually made.
