I was dragged into this museum by friends and was later dragged out, as it not only has the history of the revolution which was predominately fought here, but also of the area history. The murals are something to spent some time with. Pay the extra to use your good camera, but if you only use your phone or tablet,... More

The must see museum in Guanajuato and important site. Besides a good history lesson with timelines on the road to independence, the museum also has two wonderful exhibitions featuring Guanajuato artists: 19th Century photographer Romualdo Garcia and portrait artist Hermenegildo Bustos.
