Art In Merida

 

The railway museum in Merida Mexico has a temporary space that features various exhibits. While I was there the exhibit was a show of work by local artist Marcela Diaz who was born in Merida and has shown work worldwide. Her work mainly consists  of large textile sculptures  made with native Yucatan plants such as henequen (sisal). She often features feminine symbols such as these crocheted dresses. I like her work.

Her sculpture looks great in your photo. I would not expect this sort of art in a railway museum.
