Fine Arts Museum of Toluca, Art museum in central Toluca, Mexico.

The Fine Arts Museum of Toluca occupies the former convent of the Carmelitas Descalzos, built in 1697 and declared a historical monument in 1940. Its rooms hold more than 2,000 works, among them Baroque paintings by Cristóbal de Villalpando, Miguel Cabrera, José Juárez and José de Vivar, plus 18th-century wooden sculptures and religious art.

The building began as a Carmelite convent in 1697 and later served different purposes including a school and hospital before its transformation. In 1945, it opened as a museum to preserve and display the artistic heritage of the region.

The museum's name comes from its function as a fine arts venue, and its rooms hold Baroque paintings by José de Vivar, Miguel Cabrera, José Juárez and Cristóbal de Villalpando, alongside 18th-century wooden sculptures and religious art. A sculpture of Christ in ivory, brought by the Manila galleon, is among the pieces visitors single out.

The museum occupies the former Carmelite convent building in Toluca's historic centre, declared a historical monument in 1940. It reopened in 2002 after restoration, so some rooms may be closed while work continues; ask at the entrance which sections are open that day.

The collection holds an ivory sculpture of Christ that arrived in Mexico through the Manila galleon trade route during the colonial era. This rare object shows how far-reaching connections existed between Asia and the Americas during that period.
