  • My friend suggested we go to this museum, and I'm glad we did, even though it was a bit out of the city center. The architecture, made from black volcanic stone, creates an underworld vibe. Various artworks adorn the ceilings and there are tons of artifacts in every room. You can't miss the balcony view of the area. Also, you will have to pay extra (60 pesos) if you want to take photos inside. Definitely worth a trip!
  • Well worth the trip to this museum. The architecture is breathtaking, built completely with volcanic rock. The Diego Rivera sketches are mesmerizing, and the museum staff is knowledgeable and explains every detail. Thanks to Melissa who explained the whole history behind one of the sketches!!!
