Review:

As the name suggests, the Museum of Colonial Art has an excellent collection of paintings, furniture, sculptures, and other pieces of artwork from the colonial period. More than 130 different items are displayed in its galleries, including the "Passion of Christ" by Guatemalan artist Thomas Merlo, several pieces of artwork by the well-known Mexican artist Cristóbal de Villalpando, and a fascinating colonial hearse.

The museum also offers a library and a furniture restoration workshop, and it is open every day of the week except for Mondays. Admission is free of charge for all visitors on Sundays.
