Fine Arts Museum of Toluca

The museum building features seven exhibition rooms showcasing religious art collections, decorative crafts, and temporary exhibitions within a former Carmelite convent structure.

The structure originated as the Convent of Carmelitas Descalzos in 1697, later served as a school and hospital before its transformation into a museum in 1945.

The museum collection contains over 2,000 artworks, including paintings by Mexican Baroque artists Miguel Cabrera, Jose Juarez, and Cristobal de Villalpando.

Visitors can access the museum Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM and Sundays until 3:00 PM, with free admission on Wednesdays and Sundays.

The collection includes an ivory sculpture of Christ transported to Mexico through the Manila galleon trade route during the colonial period.
