El Santo Museum

El Santo Museum is a dedicated space honoring a legendary Mexican wrestler and his decades-long career in the ring. The collections feature original wrestling gear, masks, personal effects, and documentary materials that span from his early days through his most famous performances.

The wrestler rose to prominence starting in the 1940s and became one of Mexico's most significant entertainment figures for over four decades. His work both in the ring and on film made him a cornerstone of Mexican popular culture during much of the 20th century.

El Santo transcended wrestling to become a national symbol who shaped Mexican popular culture and inspired generations of fans. The museum reflects how this figure became woven into the country's identity and artistic expression.

The museum is located in Tulancingo and welcomes visitors in small or large groups, with spaces that are easy to navigate. It helps to check visiting hours before planning your trip, as schedules can vary seasonally.
