Casa de los Venados

Reviewed By lgmountford - Calgary, Canada

Instead of group tours, they are conducting private tours with your own group of cohorts. What a fascinating and fabulous place to visit and to make a donation to a very worthy cause. The owners have opened their private home and private collection of Mexican art to anybody who wants to visit and only ask for a modest donation that goes towards local charities. It is impossible to absorb everything and only one visit as there is so much of interest to look at. A big shout out to the owners for their vision and generosity.

Hacienda Nogueras

Reviewed By 508teresah - Texada Island, Canada

This is a wonderful gem off the beaten track. We visited with a private shore excursion with Admire Mexico tours and Jupiter gave us an escorted tour through the Hacienda and garden area. This museum is very diverse and very much worth while visiting, an old (1600’s) hacienda, a former home of the International Artist Alejandro Rangel and featuring many of his works, including furniture, paintings and wrought iron works. As well a small but well displayed pre-hispanic pottery collection. Within the grounds we walked through a large garden (called ecopark) with local flora and fauna and the remains of the sugar processing plant.

Even at COVID-19 times, you can still enjoy art. Even I'm not a big fan of contemporary art, I really appreciate to have open places for culture at very reasonable prices.

Museo Casa Diego Rivera

The birthplace of Mexico's most famous painter has been preserved as a museum featuring some of his original works and a collection of artifacts from his house.

Reviewed By SeveBellisteros - Kansas City, United States

I am a big fan of Diego Rivera so I very much enjoyed his home. It is beautifully restored and has several of his early works, which are not in the style for which he is famous. I would read about him in advance of going as the signage. /story telling is minimal.
