Things to do in Guadalajara, Guadalajara Metropolitan Area: The Best Art Museums
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.

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.

Three GREAT exhibits with amazing art work! What a collection. Orozco, Rivera and Siqueiros was one exhibit we both thought was remarkable. Rebel Diamonds from the Sun the second that really takes a wonderful look at Chicano and Latin art. Lastly, the Jose Clemente Orozco murals are fantastic! I don't miss place!
