Museo Historico del Norte by barryg23
The Museo Historico del Norte is an impressive museum housed in the equally impressive Cabildo building on the main square. It costs 2 pesos to enter and is open in the mornings and evenings, though closed for a long siesta break in the afternoons. Most of the exhibits are in Spanish though there is an English leaflet available at the ticket desk.Most of the exhibits are about the War of Independence, in particular, there are displays about Guemes, the local hero in this war, as well as portraits & pictures of him, and some examples of his personal posses ions. In the upstairs section the focus is on religious art, with some impressive paintings. The best thing about the museum is the building it is housed in, the Cabildo, with its open courtyards and beautiful balconies.
