Museo Francisco Goitia, National art museum in Zacatecas, Mexico
The Museo Francisco Goitia is a national art museum housed in a single-story building with gardens that once served as the official residence of state governors between 1948 and 1962. The collection contains more than 170 artworks by regional artists spanning different artistic movements and periods.
The museum was established in 1978 by the National Institute of Fine Arts to preserve and present the artistic work of regional painters. This founding made an important statement about recognizing contemporary Mexican artistic achievement from the state.
The museum carries the name of Francisco Goitia, one of the region's most influential painters. Its collection represents artists who shaped Zacatecan artistic expression over decades and whose work reflects broader Mexican artistic movements.
The museum sits in a residential area that is easy to reach on foot with clear pathways. Its compact layout makes it possible to view the collection comfortably without spending excessive time planning your route.
The collection features the painting 'Tata Jesucristo' from 1927, which reveals how Goitia was pushing artistic boundaries during that period in Mexican painting. This work shows an experimental phase in his development that often gets overshadowed by his later politically-charged compositions.
