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.

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!

Four of us, one a ceramicist, visited this museum specializing in ceramic arts. Modern artists but using traditional methods. Lovely scale for a careful browse—so many highly detailed pieces, you have to apply a keen eye. And one can get very close to see the detail properly. Our guide was a young family member of a local ceramics production family going back generations. Our ceramicist friend had some Spanish skill, and she and our guide discussed all the various techniques, when they came into use, and artists all the way through the tour. After we left the museum she said he was very knowledgeable and skilled in ceramics production himself. Wonderful—and definitely a great start to the crafts of Tlaquepaque. I’ll try to add photos later...

This was an amazing visit to a museum I found on tripadvisor. The manager of the museum gave me a tour in English and was so personable and professional. I really enjoyed the visit. Many of the pieces were just amazing. When I tried to tip at the end of his tour he said no that he was just doing his job to explain the works of the museum and would not take a tip. If you can find the museum it is well work your time. Beautiful pieces.
