Hospicio Cabañas

A striking building, but unfortunately the expos were underdeveloped with too little historical background and context.

The building is huge and wonderfully beautiful as its own history piece.

I was disappointed in the staff. They were uninterested in helping patrons or making them feel at home in this public cultural space. Due to poor signage, lack of staffing, and the curmudgeon and unhelpful attitude of the present staff, we were more often lost than found.

Only after we returned home did we discover we missed (never found) one half of the museum. I'm embarrassed to admit... We somehow missed half of the museum?

It's disheartening a public space's value was reduced by resident employees. I expected more pride in one's city, state, and country.

For $4 US it was worth seeing one half of the museum.

Worth a visit in Guadalajara! Architecturally stunning building with renowned murals in the interior make for an awe inspiring experience. There is written narrative on the murals in both English and Spanish, and more throughout the building by QR code. Only 4 stars because I thought, a a while, building’s space could be more thoughtfully used with additional exhibitions.

The only reason I gave this museum 4 stars instead of 5 is because I was not fond of the artwork. (Which I did not post pictures of, I preferred the architecture and grounds). Even though the artwork was not to my preference, the audio interpretation was phenomenal and highly recommend listening to it.

Wonderful museum full of history. The pamphlets don’t really have much info but do ask the guides to tell you where to go. Lots of exhibits and even interactive ones. 80 pesos to get in. Cheaper w Mexican Id. Clean restroom I would go again

Awesome building, no wonder why is World Heritage. I had the chance to see a temporarily expo about Jose Clemente Orozco’s draws. Very good!
