Great insight into local history. The murals by Diego Rivera are breathtaking and the artifacts very interesting.

Building itself is wonderful. Murals on second floor are stunning. Overall very good. Worth a visit.

This museum is beautifully maintained and costs only 55 Pesos to enter (something less than $1.20 when I was here).

After a visit here, my suggestion is the Brady Museum in Cuernavaca. An exquisite house and gardens with some great artworks including a Graham Sutherland- Still Life with Bees- Fabulous!

Nice sized museum. Great place to get out of the sun. You can get a discount if you bring your international student ID.
