"State-Run Handicraft Shop The Instituto de Artesanias Oaxaqueños, also known as "ARIPO" has a wide selection of crafts from all over the state of Oaxaca . It's housed in a colonial building on Garcia Vigil near the old aqueduct, and has this pretty central courtyard. Rooms surrounding the courtyard each display a different type of craft. You'll find textiles, wood, ceramic, metal, palm, jewelry, and more. Quality is good; the institute holds yearly contests and some of the prize-winning pieces are on sale here. Open Monday to Friday only, from 9 am to 7 pm."

Several reviewers point out that they've gone to the store and it's been closed. We walked by around 1:00 p.m. and the door was closed but then someone came out and said come back in 20 minutes. We did and I then asked the security guard what their hours are and here they are even though it's unclear if they follow them. Monday through Friday 9:30 - 6:00. Saturday and Sunday 10:00 - 5:00. As for a rating, I'm just beginning to compare prices with other shops so I cannot say anything about the pricing. And as people note, there are definitely a lot of folks working and watching the visitors to each of the sales rooms.

According to other reviews it seems always closed. I noticed that many tourists came up for nothing. There are no signs or opening times, only a security guard. They should disclose their hours as other boutiques/museums.

From the street, I thought this was a museum. And it kind of is but you can buy everything they have! Just to be clear it is a store but they have an incredible collection of goods from artist across Oaxaca! It's an easy place to spend money and the value is unbeatable for the prices. I spent three weeks shopping for a nice brimmed hat and finally found one of the right fit and quality here. Add to all of this friendly and helpful service and you have a first class place! Gracias!

This spot is sensational especially if you are wanting to buy some handmade goods, or even just enjoy and look around, there is a lot to look at and enjoy when it comes to textiles, carvings or pottery and more. The prices are quite decent, it is free to get in and there are toilets in this area too which are clean and free. “Jonique Life” If you find value in our reviews please consider following our social media outlets on Facebook and Instagram as we highlight magical places you can add to your ever growing bucket list.

Gorgeous and charming selection of handicrafts, home goods and rugs. Very high quality and definitely on the higher end of stores I visited while in Oaxaca.

Much larger than I expected — Like a museum where you can touch and buy everything. Some of the most gorgeous, if not the most, ceramics I’ve seen in the city. A must visit shop/artisan display space

Lovely place. Worth visiting even if you're not shopping, but there are some wonderfully affordable items.
