Very few "gory" art and news articles. You get to see how the people view death, statues related to death, artwork from a well-known artist, and ancient artifacts. A lot of history and culture throughout the museum. A lot of skulls and photos ok from the Day of Dead Festival celebration. Admission is inexpensive. There is one part I want to get up close on, but they closed that floor due to maintenance. I was able to only take the picture from the ground. Very different to see and also interesting facts and meanings behind each art.

A lot of information is available in English especially if it's text. The museum has a beautiful and outstanding photo archive facilitated by the Colettes from the 70s. Seeing these made me feel very nostalgic because time is going by so fast and Huichol homeland is drastically modernizing. The museum is also trying virtual reality which when combined with Huichol turns to be pleasantly psychedelic. The museum gift shop has a good range of Huichol art handmade and digital.

Chances of me ever reading Don Quixote are slim to nil so as I eyed the collection here I had to…read moreask the one I was with: "do you know the story of Don Quixote?" Luckily, he knew what amounted to the Don Quixote Cliff Notes and that was good enough. This here is one person's obsession - er, collection - of Don Quixote-related artworks. Who knew that it would make for such an interesting museum? As opposed to a style of art or an art period this collection can focus on any aspect of DQ's story, surreal or figurative. At one point the collection veers off into excellent artwork of a married couple and has seemingly nothing to do with Don Quixote. Surprise! This museum gave me far more than I was expecting simply due to the variety of art and art forms on display. It may be interesting to know the most basic things about the story of Don Quixote (literally, like 5 sentences worth) and then - assuming you enjoy viewing art - you're off to the races. This museum inspired me to think of other types of museums or art collections that could be assembled and I really enjoy anything that gets my creativity flowing. This place did. Learn a few basic things about DQ then go here.

I already knew that there was a Museum for Don Quixote but what I did not know was that it was for the Art of Don Quijote. When we visited the Museum with the ornate Don Quixote outside, needless to say, I was already humming the first bars from Man of La Mancha. It's super inexpensive to visit and get your ticket. There's a bookstore to the right which is not overly expensive. Matter of fact it's a dollar or two more than what you can find on Amazon. We were super fortunate to be in a very small group as our tour guide took us through the exhibits. It was super interesting and some of the pieces in the collection are one-of-a-kind. Don Quixote may not be for everyone but having seen Peter O'Toole in the 1972 production when I was a kid always stuck with me. I still remember it to this day. It was one of those lazy Saturday afternoons after the glorious morning of cartoons and my choice was ABC Wide World of Sports or Man of La Mancha. No surprise as watched the exploits of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza. I mean who could forget Sophia Loren's role of Dulcinea, Geesh. For you young ones, Let me tell a tale of grand musical movies, not counting animated movies, that ruled Hollywood from the 50s through the 70s Grease and All that Jazz is most likely the best last musicals.

Easy to find, inexpensive to visit, it will take you about an hour and a half to discover more of Rivera's life and work. Open daily 10am-7pm, Sundays - 10am-3pm. Closed Mondays! Lots of personal objects on display, furniture and art created by the artist, in an intimate display since this was the place his was born. Very nice place, not crowded when we visited, so it made it for a pleasant time. I was very happy to be able to check it out and learn more about the great Mexican muralist artist!

In other words, great for those with short attention spans. Until he was 6 Diego Rivera lived in the house in which this museum is situated. Here you can see the rooms he once played in and view a collection of his works though nothing large-scale like the murals for which he really gained renown. In addition to Diego's works (which you're not permitted to photograph) in many art genres, there are a couple of other art installations. On this visit the most interesting of these was the very top floor which featured the work of Guanajuato artists whose work I'd have enjoyed a whole museum being filled with. There's a lot of stairs to navigate here but an elevator if you cannot do so. Definitely worth a stop if you're in Guanajuato and enjoy museums and/or Diego Rivera. And, if they know you speak only English they'll screen a 7-minute film, in English, telling you more about the space and the featured artists.
