REVIEW

The museum is located inside the Former Convent of Santo Domingo de Guzmán, in the neighborhood of El Cerrillo, one of the most traditional and representative of the city of San Cristóbal de las Casas, and is an annex to the Church of Santo Domingo, whose façade is catalogued as one of the best examples of Baroque art in Latin America. As a whole, it is one of the most representative examples of religious architecture of the country. Besides its religious vocation, the colonial building was headquarters during Venustiano Carranza’s government, and an important scenario during the time of Cristeros. As a museum, it was consolidated on 1988, with the support of the historian Jan de Vos and his wife, Emma Cosío.
