Robert Brady Museum, Art museum in Cuernavaca, Mexico.
The Robert Brady Museum is an art collection housed in a restored 16th-century monastery building in central Cuernavaca. The exhibition spreads across multiple rooms and displays international works from various regions and periods.
An American artist purchased the former monastery in 1962 and renovated it thoroughly to live there and display his collections. This conversion of the religious building into a private residence and later public museum marked a significant change in the site's purpose.
The museum displays works by Mexican artists alongside artifacts from Papua New Guinea, Haiti, India, and South America that Brady gathered during his travels. These collections bring together different cultural traditions within the former monastery's spaces.
The museum has several entrances across different levels of the old building, allowing visitors to explore various parts of the collection in their own order. It helps to allow time for browsing the artistic layout spread across the multiple rooms.
One room of the museum honors a French-American performer through personal photographs and memorabilia from her friendship with the artist. This display reveals a lesser-known connection between the activist and the art collection.
