The tour was interesting and informative. I was lucky enough to be the only one on the tour when i went late afternoon. The tour guide (i think her name was alicia) spoke really good English and was charismatic. Went for a few drinks in la mina bar after my tour but the atmosphere was dead as the place was empty.

Great and beautiful place. You take a train ride down into the mountain (a few minutes, but it felt like an eternity) once you reach bottom you will find a small museum and even a dance club! Mine is well lit and a little cool so bring a light jacket. Tour usually is about an hour, but after, you can explore at your own pace. We spent about two hours looking at everything. Tours are in spanish.

One of the Wonders in Mexico and the World 🌎, you have to try the glass floor, then buy things inside the mines, try the icream from the liite cars, and the famous Tacos Envenenados mix with meat and cheese.

Countries from Argentina 🇦🇷, Colombia 🇨🇴, Chile 🇨🇱, Costarica 🇨🇷, Panama 🇵🇦, Mexico 🇲🇽 dancing with their own music and band, you must see this great Carnival and his people and travel in the Tour bus 🚌.

This museum housed in an ancient church displays the ingenuity of people who make masks for different occasions and sizes out of simple objects. Hundreds of interesting masks on display. Includes a wonderful exhibit of puppets used in shows as well as prehistoric pottery. The ruins that house the museum show the beauty of the architecture and well worth a visit. Expect to spend an hour or more.

Stop by Rafael Coronel museum in Zacatecas to discover history and traditions though the use of masks in the Mexican culture. I wish the museum had more descriptions about the beautiful expositions and its employees were more informative. I asked a few basic questions and they were no able to answer, but I have to say, all the staff was very polite and welcoming. During my visit the museum had a en exposition from India with beautiful pieces that other way I would never be able to appreciate. I also was invited to sign a guest book and noticed that the museum is visited by foreign tourists, it will be great if the museum includes brief description of its pieces in order lenguajes. This museum is a gem in the enchanting city of Zacatecas Mexico.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful Catholic church, what altarpieces! Truly a gem. And it doesn't just have one or two. About six, each more beautiful than the last. It preserves its wooden floor and much of its golden daughter art. It's just a few steps from the cathedral. Walking a bit, you reach this marvelous work of art. In its atrium, you can see other buildings and streets very beautifully. Truly a beauty. I highly recommend visiting it. (Original) Hermosa iglesia católica, que retablos. De verdad una joya . Y no solo tiene uno o 2 tiene. Cómo 6 cada uno más bello que el anterior. Conserva su piso de madera y mucho de su arte en hija de oro. Esta a unos pasos de la catedral.

Fantastic exhibit of Huichol art and culture, really well made with great anthropological love! The rest of the museum is very eclectic in its offerings, such as money and coin printing machines from the heydays of the town’s rich mining history, as well as some oil paintings from local artists. I spend two interesting hours there.

They're happy to take your money without telling you half of the galeries are under construction and the other half get locked well ahead of the 5pm closing time, meaning if you visit even around 4pm you'll pay and then get to see pretty much nothing. Incredibly dishonest and annoying.

This museum held a large format abstract art in MX. Although Im not into abstract art, this museum totally worth it. In 1970, MX was invited to the Osaka Fair, while we were just emerging from 1968, artists wanted to show a different face of our county, so they based this exposition in abstract art ( before this movement, MX art was mainly nacionalisism) So they developed this large format paintings and ended up in this museum. Unfortunately Manuel Felguérez have just died (2020).

Joseph A — Google review
A surprisingly large and interesting museum. It has lots of art from many different artists and although when you enter it appears quite unimpressive it will lead you through it's maze-like halls and lead you on an adventure. The cost is even surprisingly affordable. Upon entering I thought I might spend half an hour looking at the displayed paintings and sculptures but only left nearly two hours later. It is absolutely worth a visit both to the knowledgeable art connoisseur but also, like myself, someone who does not know much about it but simply enjoys looking at art. The only negative thing I experienced was that especially toward the end it became slightly difficult to navigate. The entire time it had been very clear which way I was supposed to go but at the end I had to guess how they wanted me to end my visit.

In your visit tp Zacatecas its mandatory to go and look at all the masterpieces in the Francisco Gotia Museum. This old house sometime belonged to the state Governor and today displays a series of paintings of Francisco Gotia, Jose Kuri Breña's sculptures and sketches, and fantastic Julio Ruelas engravings,among other works from many talented artists from Zacatecas.

Lovely collection of Mexican modern art. Loved their works by Goitia and Julio Ruelas! Housed in an old mansion, its somewhat small yet remarkable collection is worth a visit.

Not so many things to see, and the cost is the same as in other public museums : 30pesos (less than 1,5euros). In 30minutes maximum you can see all the collections.

Loved the garden and architecture but thought the art was just okay compared to the other modern art museums in the area.
