    So this isn’t a museum about Queretaro city, it’s a modern art museum in an a ramshackle old building. Some exhibits are quite creative, though there isn’t much in the way of explanation (and what there is is in Spanish only). It’s free and worth a visit if you’re into modern art.

    This is a place that demonstrates the type of buildings in the Centro Histórico. They rotate the exhibitions of the first floor, while the top floor is all about the construction of the temple and it's convertion into a museum. It is free every Sunday. There is also a mummy on the top floor.

    This place is more of an active, contemporary art museum that is unafraid of showcasing the unique and unusual. Not all of the exhibits are superlative, but there are definitely gems that can be found amongst the hidden back rooms of this old converted monastery. My admission late on a Sunday was free, and the experience was worth much more than that.

    Great place to find modern art exhibitions, the building itself its a piece of art, feel free to visit every corner, you may find a play or a photo exhibition. Enroll in the several courses like music, writing, poetry, painting and more. $5.00 (Sometimes), Only cash

    This place gives off creepy vibes-maybe because we went in the evening? It’s a former convent and it’s pretty run down. One of the security guards had some interesting stories to share about the building and creepy things that he’s seen. It seemed like someone was camping out there and seem to have some of his clothes hanging on the weird wooden structure around the fountain. Was that part of the installation?? I don’t think so…. It’s cool that local artists have somewhere to show their art. Our admission was free—not sure if it always is. We went Sunday evening.

    It's a beautiful architectire of the city, with unique and different expositions. Now is in remodelation but still nice.

  • 4/5 Rubén M. 4 years ago on Google
    This place is ok, tours at night must be terrifying as it looks gloomy. There's music, theatre and installation performances almost every single day, so you will not get bored. Probably if you want to present something here, you should actually think about all the stuff you should bring with you as the organisation does not always provide what is needed.

    The former convent of the Capuchin nuns. Here was born the idea of building our Aqueduct and years later was prison of Maximilian Emperor

  • 5/5 Sab G. 1 year ago on Google
    There is SO much history in the building itself! A former religious convent that was turned into a museum around ‘97. You will need a guide to help you learn about it, since this is not a historic museum. There are several presentations, cinema, design, music concerts and traditional, contemporary and modern art expositions. They are usually great and free. Would definitely recommend!

    Not much on offer here. Free admission.

    Very interesting art, in an unassuming building. Go there if you have some time to spare...
