This museum is an absolute must! First, the building is gorgeous - set in colonial houses with historic rooms, courtyards and a truly spectacular rooftop cafe (with stunning views of the local churches). There is a nicely curated private collection of prehispanic pieces. For an extra 70 pesos, I bought a very thoughtful and well organized English booklet that provided context and cultural background to these pieces. They threw in a poster of the very interesting wall mural that compares civilizarions around the world. We also enjoyed the colonial furniture and art exhibition that was especially nice with the items in real colonial rooms. There were also exhibits of beautiful contemporary tapestries and vivid protest poster art. I think the admission was 55 pesos. A great value to see inside (and on the roof of) one of Puebla's gems.

This is the Puebla terminus of a light railway that travels from Cholula about 15 kms away, to the city of Puebla. A great experience!

This is the museum we probably enjoyed and spent the most time in Puebla. It is the home of the guy and the event that began the Mexican Revolution, which I knew very little about before my visit. Lots of information with a reasonable amount in English - certainly enough to ensure that you understand the story and events. Amazing to see all the bullet holes still both outside and in the interior. As well as visiting the house and courtyard, with various exhibits and some good multi media information (but in Spanish only unfortunately) there is also a film of that has been made of the gun fight at the house which really helps to bring it to life. Really worthwhile.

This museum is in downtown, it was a private house where the owner loved art and donated the house and its collections, its is small a nice place to visit in couple of hours, the gard functions like a guide, knows the story of the family and some about the items on display.
