Museum of José Guadalupe Posada

The Museum of José Guadalupe Posada displays a collection of prints and engravings featuring skeleton figures and social commentary from Mexican culture.

The museum opened its doors on September 16, 1972, receiving recognition as a National Monument of Mexico for preserving the legacy of printmaking.

The exhibition halls contain hundreds of original prints that document Mexican society through illustrations of political issues, violence, and class distinctions.
