Del Corazon de la Tierra- Gallery

Reviewed By teddy1014 - Brooklyn, United States

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.

Instituto Cultural Cabanas

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.

Palacio de Gobierno del Estado de Jalisco

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.

Rectoria de la Universidad de Guadalajara

This building houses an art museum with murals by Jose Clemente Orozco.

Reviewed By larrytt2015 - Bloomfield Hills, United States

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!
