The Sergio Castro Museum of Regional Costumes is located in the city of San Cristóbal de las Casas in the state of Chiapas, Mexico, and was founded in 1970; Its owner is the collector Sergio Castro Martínez, a renowned local philanthropist. Castro Martínez has spent a large part of his life helping indigenous people with agricultural work, developing infrastructure for the provision of water, building schools and providing them with free medical care. As a token of appreciation, the indigenous people gave him the traditional objects and clothing from his culture that are on display today. The museum exposes to the public about 100 typical costumes and dresses of the ethnic groups of the region. This is a unique case because, as a rule, all clothing and personal belongings are buried with the dead. In addition to clothing, jewelry and accessories are on display, among other things. The museum tour is offered by the owner himself and the proceeds are used to continue funding charity.
