Guillermo Tovar de Teresa Museum

The Guillermo Tovar de Teresa Museum is an art collection housed in an early 1900s mansion with detailed interior design and garden spaces. More than 1,000 works of Mexican painting, sculpture, and decorative objects from different periods are displayed throughout the rooms of the historic house.

The mansion was built in the early 1900s as a private residence reflecting the wealth of that era. The house later became a museum venue, making the collection accessible to the public.

The pieces reflect how people lived and valued beauty in past centuries, with decorated containers and furnishings showing the skills of local craftspeople. You can see how these objects fit into daily life and decorated the homes of wealthy families.

The museum is located in a residential area and easy to reach on foot, with clear signage at the entrance. Comfortable shoes are recommended since the exhibition spans multiple floors and rooms throughout the house.

The collection includes works by a British artist who documented Mexican landscapes before his death during turbulent political events in the 1800s. His images today offer a rare visual record of the land and places from that era.
