Ok - normally I wouldn't give a place like this 5 stars, but luckily I was with colleagues that…read morespoke Spanish fluently and could give me the history to what I was looking at. This place is full of amazing pieces and literature, but it's all in Spanish so you will want to know some Spanish yourself or go with someone who could interpret for you!

This mine belongs to the local university, and is used as a practice area for students. Admission is about 30 pesos, or a little more than a dollar fifty. I also gave a small tip to the guide, since I think they are volunteers.

We booked a tour bus and this was one of the stops after the church made of gold. It was about 45…read morepesos per person to enter, and there was a huge line to get in. I wanted to leave when I saw the line, but my family really wanted to go. So, we did. We visited on a Friday, during the week of New Years, so the place was PACKED. In order to move people through quickly we were in groups of like... 50...ish? The place is not big enough to sustain groups this big, so it was packed and you could hardly move or see anything. Super uncomfortable. The tour was in Spanish and there were no signs in English to explain what was happening. I speak enough Spanish to understand most of what he was saying, but it would be difficult for someone who didn't. I'm not sure if you can get an English tour guide, but I didn't hear any. Overall, I recommend skipping this stop if you have limited time in Guanajuato. I also recommend skipping if there are a lot of people. It's not worth it to feel like a sardine.

( say age 8 and up) The temporary exhibits are always interesting. Right now they have a collection of art made by Japanese immigrants to Mexico. Staff is friendly. Place is immaculate. Wonderful bookstore that includes a lot of poetry as well as art related books, magazines. I wish the collection included more work by Mexican painters, but it's a relatively small place, and it does a great job! If I lived in Leon, I would visit regularly. If you are a tourist, must visit, and say "hi" to Max in the bookstore. He likes to speak English.
