Maria Sabina (Museo Palacio Ocampo) – Mexico

Nearest city: Guadalajara, Jalisco

In May 2025, an exhibition at Museo Palacio Ocampo celebrating influential Mexican women associated with traditional healing featured a lifelike wax figure of María Sabina, the Mazatec shaman who introduced psilocybin mushroom rituals to the wider world. A viral video appeared to show the figure moving its head and subtly reacting to a visitor, sparking intense online debate. The museum confirmed the figure was part of the exhibition and denied any mechanical features.
