Nice little museum that is quite small and has a couple of typical native houses out behind to illustrate the way of life.

Exhibits are an eclectic private collection, the real thing to see are the 1930's revolutionary murals.

The historical items, artifacts, and other displays are laid out in an amateurish way, and with little explanation. Could be made much more interesting.

I always like to bring visitors to the Casa de Cultura when they visit Todos Santos for the first time. It's a nice way to appreciate some of life the way it was. The frescoes on the walls are beautiful, and as you stroll through the various rooms, there are items on display, collected by the late Professor Nestor who spent many years putting all this together. The building also has a library and the meeting room is used all the time. My favorite part, though, is the palo d'arco "home" created in the rear of the property, showing how most of the residents lived...including the separate structures for sleeping and cooking, and hen house...even a hanging baby cradle. I have always found this fascinating.

It might be an interesting collection of the area's history, but it was difficult to make meaning out of it. The best part was the murals.

I haven't been inside this building but it's almost look through because of its wide entrance, you can see a big patio at the bottom probably for hosting cultural events. Not sure about what's exactly used for but I think it's of public access although from the outside there aren't many signs there's something interesting to see inside. As stated in the title of this opinion, the facade looks pretty. All made of red bricks and antique-looking.

In a town that has more than its share of ex-pats (i.e. immigrants in American parlance) and gussied-up charm, this is an authentic Mexican cultural center. Pause to examine the murals that celebrate Mexico's revolutionary past and physical and intellectual culture. This place is the heart of intellectual life in Todos Santos with a library, a lecture hall, a pleasant courtyard and the aforementioned murals. Some of them are very worn and would benefit from restoration, but the content is historic and full of spirit. You can get an idea, looking at the worn ones, of how the fresco process takes place. Look beyond your own ethnocentric expectations and appreciate the soulfulness of this place. It's free.

So we kind of stumbled across this place when we were shopping in Todos Santos. I read one review that says it's embarrassing and dilapidated. I guess it's all about perspective because we found it quite charming. Yes, it's dusty, some windows are broken and it's not terribly well organized but for us that just added to the authenticity of what Todos Santos is, "Puebla Magica". There are some amazing old photos and old artifacts and a little "shack" in the back that is apparently an original house of how people lived back then. I found it incredibly interesting. There is also a lovely courtyard that's worth seeing all on it's own. Do be careful though, as there are a lot of rusty artifacts strewn around and some paths aren't level. Probably not a good place for small children but definitely worth a stop!

Dusty, old photos presented in collage form! Dilapidated representations. Bug ridden, unsafe paths, strewn artifacts! You don't see this kind of display of Mexican history in comparable mainland towns. Where is the money to update this facility?

A favorite excursion from Los Cabos, we have been here several times. The photos here were taken December 2012. The local restaurants are very nice and there is a park that is at the center of town, a pleasant walk.
