Museums in Guanajuato
Museo de las Momias (the mummy museum).Explanada del Panteon S/N. A must if you're in Guanajuato. In 1910, due to the overcrowding of the local graveyard, the authorities were forced to exhume several bodies and when they did that they found the bodies had turned into mummies rather than fully decomposing. After that they founded this really strange and unique museum. Adults $50 pesos.
Casa Diego Rivera The birthplace of Diego Rivera, a well-preserved traditional Mexican residence. Be sure to check out the collections of his simple, socialist-inspired works.
Don Quixote museum. Small, but very well done.
Casa de las Leyendas (House of Legends) Located in the hill of San Miguel, in the top station of the funicular.
Casa de la Tia Aura Paseo de la Presa 62. Sort of house of horrors that's sweet in its corniness. Inside this house a woman was buried alive inside the walls. The tour is conducted (appropriately enough) in Spanish and will be difficult to understand for those not fairly fluent, though the sights are self-explanatory and the gasps and screams comprehensible in any language.
Museum of the Town of Guanajuato Positos 7.
Museo Gene Byron Housed in the Ex Hacienda of Santa Ana in the neighbouring town of Marfil.
Museo de la Inquisicion (Museum of the Holy Inquisition) Featuring torture instruments. Valenciana street.
Galeria Mariana Ponciano Aguilar 7.
Museum of Mineralogy One of the richest collection of minerals in the world. Ex-hacienda de San Matias.
Ex-convento Diegino Next to Templo de San Diego.
Museo Alfredo Duges
