Hospicio Cabañas, Cultural museum in Guadalajara, Mexico.

The Instituto Cultural Cabañas occupies a Neoclassical building with multiple courtyards, exhibiting permanent and temporary art collections across its halls and galleries.

Built in 1805 by architect Manuel Tolsá as an orphanage and hospital, the building received UNESCO World Heritage status in 1997 for its architectural significance.

The museum houses 57 frescoes by José Clemente Orozco depicting Mexican history, including themes of conquest, religion, industry, and indigenous roots.

Located near Plaza Tapatía, the museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM and offers full accessibility for visitors with mobility requirements.

The central chapel features Orozco's masterwork 'Man of Fire' on its dome, representing human transformation through a figure ascending in flames.
