In Guanajuato there is a mummy museum, its as freakish as it sounds. Turns out that in my understanding, families must continue to pay to have their relatives interned in the graveyard, and when they can't or won't keep paying, the authorities must make room for more bodies so they began removing some. Because of the conditions with the climate and soil, it was discovered, that the corpses where perfectly mummified.
There are well over 100 corpses in there for your viewing pleasure, but a note here: have breakfast before you go, because you probably won't feel like eating anything afterwards. Not even the candy corpses the sellers try and hit you up with as you exit the place. Address: Buanajuato

 Paintings and lanterns inside
Museo GB by VdV
The property how houses an art collection devoted to the culture and art of the Guanajuato region. Many of the items, ranging from paintings to antique furniture, handcrafted lanterns and sculptures, were either personally made by Gene Byron, or designed by her but completed by local artisans.
My Mom & I found it to be a beautiful place. Its courtyard, sculpture garden, and scenic surroundings (located near a creek and waterfall) was a nice respite after the drive from San Miguel de Allende to Guanajuato.
Take time to enjoy this cultural treasure in Guanajuato--you won't be disappointed! More photos in the Travelogue section.....

 Reproduction of one of
Rivera's most famous murals by VdV
The museum is just a few blocks from the main Plaza de la Paz. The ground floor was restored with original furniture from the period during which the Rivera family occupied the home while the upper floors contain his artwork.
The museum is open Tuesday through Saturday 10am to 7pm and on Sunday 10am to 3pm, with admission of $15 pesos (general) and $5 (students.)
Go see it, it is worth it to see the range of artistic styles that Rivera used during his lifetime of artistic achievement. Leave a Comment

 Guanajuato Mexico by Sam Logan by spitball
You can hire a taxi tour up into the hills surrounding the city, this I have not done, but perhaps next time I get down there. You know what it's like, all the best laid plans of mice and men....don't always pan out. This beautiful painting was done by a local Vancouver artist by the name of Sam Logan, who has himself travelled extensively. Check out his website.

 Teatro by jumanuel
Porfirio Diaz (Dictator 1910) traveled from Mexico city to Guanajuato city to present the main plays that were showed at this theater. Most of the the plays camed from Europe specially France.
If you enter at the theather you will find that is ancient and some interesting stories about the plays, public figures and the first time when a homosexual play was showed into the town during Diaz's dicator.
Also you will find at the second floor a dance floor, when ladies and gentlemans used to dance having an special flirting with tobbaco.
It's preatty intesteing and the architecture is definitly interesting. Leave a Comment Address: Guanajuato,Guanajuato, México

 My Mom the Traveling
Gnome on the University
steps by VdV
The main campus of the state university is a cluster of big, colorful modern structures visible on a hill during the approach into Guanajuato. The original university building, however, is located in the central downtown area, and now houses the university's administrative offices. The University building originates back to the arrival of the Jesuits and their founding of the College of the Holy Trinity in 1732. The state of Guanajuato took ownership of the building in 1828 and renamed it the State College, and by 1945 it gained its University status.
It is an impressive building to look at, and as you can see, makes for a great photo opportunity. Leave a Comment

There are several museums in town, but the Museo Iconografico del Quijote, (Don Quixote) was fantastic. Don Quioxite is a favorite subject of a large number of artists and they are all here. This is a fantastic collection of art based on Don Quixote. The museum is spotless, the cleanest one we have ever been in. The bathroom is excellent. The price to go in - free. A must stop. There are paintings, murals, and sculptures. Unbelievable array of Don Quixote. Leave a Comment Address: Manuel DobladoPhone: 473 732 6721
