Top 10 Museums in Guadalajara, Guadalajara Metropolitan Area
The inland city of Guadalajara is bursting with history and culture. Many attractions are in the city's historic center and in the neighboring city of Zapopan. Museums, parks and churches flourish alongside bullfights, rodeos and soccer (futbol). Nearby are the towns of Tequila, where the liquor of the same name is produced, and Tlaquepaque and Tonala, where artisans create an abundance of Mexican handicrafts. Mariachi, which originated in the area, is a common sight and sound in Guadalajara.

They have everything here: from small souvenirs to large home furnishing, tchotchkes to rare artisan items, things under $2 to over $500. Textiles, pottery, silver work, wood carving...the place is deceptively large, and every room contains a completely different kind of artisan items. I don't enjoy shopping but this place is amazing.

Once an orphanage, this building now serves as a gallery of the famous murals of Jose Clemente Orozco.

Every time we visit Guadalajara, which is often because we live at Lake Chapala, we are never disappointed - the Orozco murals alone are worth the visit! There are always a number of different art exhibits going on, as the Cabanas is a large space with many side rooms and little patios, so exploring is always interesting.

When we were being taken on a tour of the city, we stopped in this building to see some murals. While going up a staircase a mural will meet you face to face. Was very powerful and moving. I recommend that you hire a local tour guide to introduce you to the beautiful murals of this city.

We came here to see a Goya exhibit, and ended up seeing so much more. The place is amazing, and the whole aura of it is great. Beautiful murals by Jose Clemente Orozco, nice history and super architecture. Will definitely come back.
