A major art museum in Guadalajara, this is a must see. But don't get too excited. Although a world…read moreheritage site, this is not an awe-inspiring museum unless you're a fan of 1930s modernist murals.

Be prepared to check any bag you have no matter what size. I had small cross body bag and was told I needed to check it in. Bag check is free. This is a beautiful building with interesting artwork on the walls and ceilings. Some of the artwork has QR code for you to watch a video in Spanish or English that explains some of the artwork in the main hall. These were informative. Walk around and enjoy some of the smaller art galleries. Some are only in Spanish. Budget no more than 2 hours unless you want to watch every video and read every piece of artwork throughout the facility. Bathrooms: free and clean onsite If you need a snack, head to La Chispita for a great beef and chorizo taco.

The museum is located just off of Plaza de las Americas, across from the Zapopan letters, and on the way to the Monumento Arcos de Zapopan. The exhibits we saw during our visit included Ojos Obsidianos by Donna Huanca, Los de Abajo (The Underdogs) by Mark Bradford, and Ano del Usagi by Leiko Ikemura. Bradford's Mural, Man of Fire, was particularly incredible to see after seeing the Orozco murals at Hospicio Cabañas in Guadalajara. Bradford created his mural in corresponding colors to Orozco's of the same name. We ended up checking out Huanca's exhibit twice. 1) Because we really enjoyed it and also 2) because it was in an air conditioned space and it was very, very hot the day we visited.
