We were staying at a nearby hotel and the owner was gracious enough to call the owner and open the gallery for us. Since COVID the hours are not regular. So many wonderful pieces of art, we all bought something and We loved supporting the local community by visiting this not for profit gallery. Highly recommend!

The first Art Museum in the city. ABOUT US. 4D Art Museum is a place where community meets to live astral experiences, to get inspiration, to relax, and also, to act. Moreover, it is also a place to be intellectually and spiritually stimulated. We truly believe in ARTivismo (ARTivism), which is a way to combine ART and CULTURE to awake consciousness about different social issues. By being the first Art Museum in Puerto Vallarta, we have created a new space to know, through a very innovative way, more about our Mexican ancestral roots and a unique kind of painting technique that invites us to travel to other dimensions. 4D Art Museum invites you to live a never-seen-before art experience, taking you into a mysterious and colorful Fourth Dimension (4D). We will enjoy a visually surprising tour, full of magic and energy that will lead you to other dimensions.

If you are a lover of truly unique art forms, don't miss the opportunity to experience this unusual gallery. Colour, form, sculpture, painting, multi-media, hospitality; this tour provides a view of this exciting artist's perspective. I loved it and will return every year to follow the evolution of his work.
4. Galeria Colectika

Colectika is an exceptional gallery, specializing in regional Mexican art. Much of the collection is dedicated to wooden painted carvings (alebrijes) from Oaxaca or Huichol art from the Wixáritari, who live in the Sierra Madre Occidental range in the states of Nayarit, Jalisco, Zacatecas and Durango. The alter comes in two forms – carvings that are covered with colorful small glass beads or yarn “paintings”. Both of these art forms incorporate symbols of importance to the indigenous residents. The gallery is owned and managed by Kevin Simpson who has developed close relationships with many of the artists and who is extremely knowledgeable and will spend as much time as one needs explaining and discussing the art with visitors to the gallery. Colectika will also provide shipping to one’s home. While the prices here are not cheap, they are extremely reasonable for the quality of the work exhibited. This is definitely a place for both serious collectors and those interested in beginning a collection. There are also two other shops in town showing similar work but in smaller venues. These are both called Peyote People and are owned and managed by the same folks. No visit to Puerto Vallarta should be considered complete with a visit here.

I stumbled on this gallery during the Wednesday night art walk and was instantly drawn to the amazing and interesting artwork. Marty, the owner, is incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about Polish vintage posters and his extensive collection is quite impressive. I came back the next day and inquired about a couple of specific genres and he took his time to share numerous posters with me, explaining about the artist and history behind them. I ended up purchasing a 1980s poster that I could not be more happy with. With my purchase I received information from the gallery and from the MoMa (there was an exhibit there of many of these works a few years ago) with more details about this period of often subversive art. Whether you are interested in purchasing or just in seeing a stunning collection, Posters International is well worth your time. I highly recommend it among the other galleries in Puerto Vallarta.

Once an orphanage, this building now serves as a gallery of the famous murals of Jose Clemente Orozco.
Reviewed By Beachmom206 - Ajijic, Mexico
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.

This 18th-century government building, which served as the headquarters of the Juarez administration in 1858, contains a number of the famous murals by Jose Clemente Orozco.
Reviewed By LAJFJ2 - Los Angeles, United States
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.
