Pulque and Pulquerías Museum (MUPYP)

A Fermented Tradition: The Joyful History of Pulque and Its Sacred Sites

AREA

What Makes It Special?

This museum celebrates pulque, an ancient Mexican beverage, and pulquerías as social, artistic, and community spaces. It’s a blend of history, folk art, collective memory… and good humor.

Did You Know…?

It is located in the former Convent of San Hipólito, a 16th-century building. The museum features posters, photos, quotes, utensils, and original barrels from iconic pulque bars. It also offers tastings, talks, and cultural events.

Don’t Miss

You can combine your visit with a stop at a pulque bar. Ask if there are any special events or themed tours. And if it’s your first time trying pulque, go for the oat or pineapple flavors: they’re mild and delicious classics.
