galeria tataya
West of the Santa Ana district, near Santiago Park, is galeria tataya, one of Merida’s most valued galleries. The owners, Francois and Gerardo, came to Merida from Belgium and Venezuela, via London, bringing with them years of experience in antiques and art. In this two-room gallery, you can take your time to enjoy the art displayed around you. And what’s not to enjoy? The gallery is filled with hand-selected and unique pieces, ranging from high-quality artesanias (handcrafts from Mexico), to an exquisite collection of contemporary paintings, drawings, and photography.
The owners speak English and are happy to talk to you about each special piece in the gallery. The rooms are luxuriously filled with comfortable sofas and chairs, allowing you to take all the time you need to experience their permanent exhibit of exquisite Cuban art, including many works by Wilfredo Barceló. Their collection of Cuban art is the largest in Merida, with more than 120 works, ranging from oil paintings to graphics and installations. There is also a wide variety of Mexican artists, most from D.F. (Mexico City), and always new quality Mexican handcrafts from the owners’ extensive travels around Mexico.
