    Really nice museum with amazing murals. I would only suggest adding some context to certain art pieces since I felt that some art was amazing, but there were no clear and visible info on it. Aside from that, its a great place.

    (Translated by Google) A must stop if you come to Guadalajara, even if you feel that you "don't like" art and history, you will be surprised. It is advisable to take the tour with a guide, since if you go alone you will probably miss the perspectives of the place and not enjoy it the same. There are also temporary exhibitions and recurring events. (Original) Parada obligada si vienes a Guadalajara, aunque sientas que "no te guste" el arte y la historia, te vas a sorprender. Es recomendable tomar el tour con guía, ya que si vas solo probablemente te pierdas de las perspectivas del lugar y no lo disfrutes igual. También hay exposiciones temporales y eventos recurrentes.

    The side rooms are full of the sketches and drawings of each of these paintings. It took so much time and preparation before the actual murals were done. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here!

    Went and saw two large art exhibits and the central cathedral. Everything was very well laid out and was wheelchair accessible with very minimal challenges (it is a pretty linear path). I'd suggest spending some time in the cathedral to absorb the murals. lay on one of the benches and just look up.

  • 5/5 Darwin F. 3 years ago on Google
    I dig it. There are enough galleries to keep you entertained for hours and the main one alone is worth the visit. There's a small museum gift shop with some cool art pieces, you should stop by.

  • 5/5 Alejandro R. 4 years ago on Google

    Beautiful building and amazing murals.

  • 5/5 Elise M (. 9 months ago on Google
    Highly recommend visiting this museum! They have a great tour of the Orozco murals. There are a couple English tours and many more in Spanish. Would recommend for those going on a Spanish speaking one to do it when there isn’t an English tour going on since the space can get echoey and becomes difficult to hear what the guide is saying. There are also a number of amazing art galleries in the museum that are worth stopping at. Plus, they have air conditioning. It’s free entry on Tuesdays!

    One of the landmarks of the city, an old orphanage now turned into a cultural hub. Glorious architecture and quite interesting art pieces both in rotation and permanent collections. You must stop here when visiting this beautiful Mexican city. Pics taken with Pixel 4 XL

  • 5/5 David S. 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing murals by Jose Orozco Highly recommend you take the guided free tour.

  • 4/5 Noah F. 4 years ago on Google
    Great Location with beautiful architecture and open spaces to get lost in. Which unfortunately also becomes a problem for a museum a some point as you can’t really know where to go for a certain structure in the exhibition and just wander around aimlessly. Might be up to someone’s test i assume. Definitely worth checking out - especially for the photos.

  • 5/5 Iris V. 4 years ago on Google
    A must go if you go to Guadalajara. To actually see a fresco by Orozco was an amazing experience. No wonder they call him the Mexican Micheangelo

  • 5/5 Marissa 6 years ago on Google
    A must see if your visiting Guadalajara. The murals of Orozco are incredible. Great tour guides there for free (in Spanish). Free admission in Tuesdays but worth the 70 pesos few otherwise.

    Without a Tour Guide it's just another historic building, but with "Sergio" and the knowledge he shared (it's a whole different ball game). The paintings definitely have History to tell and learning about the history is awesome. Kudos Sergio
