“It's Free, You Have to Go!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 5, 2012 via mobile

What a wonderful gem of a place to keep open to the people and tourist, there's two beautiful murals by Orozco, a museum and your free to walk about the palace.

“Nice”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 2, 2012

This was a nice visit. I say average because it was only average. Nothing to really knock your socks off but it was what I expected - average and that was fine.

“See this.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 8, 2012

There are two levels, murals, and various exhibitions of different types. For example, on my visit there was an exhibition of fabrics, clothing, natural dyes, an exhibition of agave and tequila, and an exhibition of paintings.

“Government.... Enough said!”

We only saw the outside of the building wich dates back to the 1800's. It's old and it's nice for picture taking other than that not much.....
