Need help finding a lost mask store.

An incredible mask store in downtown Mexico City, off the Zócalo behind Catedral somewhere. A hole in the wall that is covered floor to ceiling with fantastic traditional masks (animal/insect/arachnid/human hybrids), and where each dust covered room leads into another, and so on, til one is blissfully masked out. Last visited some 10 years ago. Does it still exist, did I imagine it? Can you help me find it? My search terms are woefully inadequate.

Looks like it's probably Palacio de las Máscaras? It's mentioned in guidebooks.

This site says it's also known as Galería Eugenio, and it's in Allende 84.
Also, an article and video.
