    Great community museum that is one large room, with a bunch of community center aspects to it, including a theatre, nice outdoor area, a cave, a small art exhibition. Definitely worth an hour visit if you find yourself in iztapalapa. Loved it.

    This is a unique place in all the city. In the top of a hill, an Aztec temple where there was an ancient fire ritual. It's a curious spot for sightseeing and strolling around. The museum is quite colorful and there are usually some activities. I would recommend to visit on raining season, when the grass is green and fresh.

    Really cool and free. Closed on Monday. All the history is written in Spanish but google translator took care of that. And I'd try the ladys quesadillas across from the museum if your there on the weekend.

    Small museum mainly in Spanish, but worth visiting of you are there even if you can't speak the language- especially since it is free. Many of the artifacts found at this site have replicas in this museum since the originals are housed in the National Archaeological Museum downtown- which is OK, but seeing the originals is rather awe inspiring vs. this demonstration which tends to be more like a high school science fair. There also was a temporary exhibit which featured a number of replicas of clay statues, which again is well and good- but the originals surely are better.

  • 5/5 Daniel A. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Although the facade could be a bit austere, its interior is extremely beautiful with baroque altarpieces and paintings on the ceilings that adorn it perfectly. Not very often do special events such as concerts with the Coyoacán Philharmonic and one has to be aware of these events that really make a great show between the music and the opulence of the building. It is worth going through the entire building and entering the sacristy that holds a baroque altarpiece in gold with paintings on it. The patio and the convent are usually open for much of the day. The office and attention are next to the building and lately they have made bazaars selling handicrafts and handicrafts in the left walker of the church that has a Baroque portal Novohispano. It is a dignified and representative work of what is the baroque and the baroque Novohispano in Mexico including what would be previously the entrance of the atrium that are the arches located at the beginning of the street of Francisco Sosa. (Original) Aunque la fachada podría ser un poco austera, su interior es sumamente hermoso con retablos barrocos y pinturas en los techos que la adornan a la perfección. No muy seguido hacen eventos especiales como conciertos con la filarmónica de Coyoacán y uno tiene que estar el pendiente de estos eventos que en verdad hacen un gran espectáculo entre la música y la opulencia del edificio. Vale la pena recorrer todo el edificio y entrar a la sacristía que guarda un retablos barroco en oro con pinturas en el mismo. El patio y el exconvento suelen estar abiertos gran parte del día. La oficina y la atención se encuentran a un costado del edificio y últimamente han hecho bazares de venta de artesanías y productos artesanales en el andador izquierdo de la iglesia que tiene un portal barroco novohispano. Es una obra digna y representativa de lo que es el barroco y el barroco novohispano en México incluyendo lo que serían anteriormente la entrada del atrio que son los arcos ubicados en el inicio de la calle de Francisco Sosa.
