Robert Brady's house is an absolute MUST if you are in Cuernavaca . It was an unexpected delight and a fantastic eclectic collection of his treasures beautifully and colourfully displayed. Each room is a delight and a surprise and there are excellent notes in English in every room explaining the paintings and collection.
2. Palacio de Cortes
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 618 reviews
On September 19, 2017, a powerful earthquake rocked the region and damaged the building's clock, which has since been removed. At the time of writing the Palacio was to remain closed to the public for at least a year, for damage assessment and reparations. Check ahead to ensure that it is open again, or simply enjoy the building's facade. This 16th-century fort once served as the palace and home of Hernán Cortés and includes a collection of Diego Rivera murals. TEMPORARILY CLOSE FOR RENOVATION

I found out that Javier Marin had an exhibit in Cuernavaca, and decided to check it out. The MMAC is a wonderful cultural space, it’s beautiful garden with a permanent exhibit of work by Juan Soriano is perfect to enjoy the sculptures, the vegetation, the calm ambience... The areas for children’s activities is excellent, my niece and nephew adore the museum. Both the current temporary exhibits by incredible Mexican artists Angela Gurria and Javier Marin are not to be missed.

This free museum specializes in folk art and crafts of the Morelos state. I saw fantastic paper mache masks and full size sculptures. There is also an exhibit of photos of native Morelos in ceremonial costumes for festivals. To round out my visit, there is an exhibit of crafts in wood and textile. All in all, this museum is a quick but satisfying view of indigenous Morelos life.
