The museum of José Guadalupe Posada should not be missed if you are visiting Aguascalientes. For…read morethose who don't know, José Guadalupe Posada was a Mexican political printmaker who used relief printing to produce popular illustrations. His work has influenced numerous Latin American artists and cartoonists because of its satirical acuteness and social engagement. He used skulls, calaveras, and bones to show political and cultural critiques. There is a lot of history in the museum, with several displays that seem to hold original newspapers from the Mexican Revolution. The museum is small but packed with a lot of prints. A couple of notes. Cash is only accepted to get in, and they do charge an additional 30 pesos if you take pictures. I highly recommend doing a frottage over some replica prints to take home a picture or two. The printing press in the back of the museum is super cool and is from the United States. There is also one inside as well. All in all, I recommend Museo Jose Guadalupe Posada as a step back in time during the building of Mexico's Republic
