    If this place is not on your radar, you should consider it. It is beautiful. Great art and architecture. Located near all the other downtown attractions. We went on a Tuesday and it was free. Come to find out, it is free every Tuesday. The wall and ceiling murals are beautiful and they tell a great story. They have QR codes that you can scan that explain each mural in English or Spanish. They also have art exhibits in the other rooms. Take your AirPods and enjoy an hour or so exploring the place. They don't allow big bags inside, but they have a storage area that is free.

    Tuesdays are free - but they still make you get a ticket. The main attraction is probably the murals - but sometimes they also show movies, and there are other exhibits to look at, as well as the quite popular areas outside. There are guided tours, but you don't need one - and each mural has a QR Code for an online (YouTube) commentary on it.

    This architectural master piece is a must go to when in Guadalajara. Near the huge metropolitan shopping center. Amazing art by orozco. They have a tour guide. Which fills you in with all the necessary back ground info. Masterfull art. Inexpensive plus you get a discount if you have a mexican id(Which my gf and i had the privilege because of an uncle)With that being said i wouldnt mind paying full price for admission. Was well worth it, "orozco referred to as Latin american Picasso" The center master piece beware of the motion art.

    ¡Viva Orozco!

    Visited here 20 years ago, knew I had to come back, and was floored. I remembered the gravity of the Orozco frescoes, but they really didn't hit me as hard as they did this time around. Could it be because of the current political climate or just my seasoned age? Maybe both? Either way, this current visit hit me...hard. Please take the tour and appreciate the nuances that Orozco carefully detailed. His work forces you to look at life from different perspectives, in every sense of the term. I only wish I had more time to admire them.

    Great museum, must see if you are in the city. We visited on a Sunday and had a good time, not crowded at all. There is a coffee shop on the premises.

    It's a neat modern art museum. There is an Andy Warhol on display. The Frescose on the cieling are the wow factor.

    Glorieta Minerva - Side

    Glorieta Minerva

    Fantastic landmark located in the center of the glorieta, celebrating the Roman goddess of wisdom…read more She is not only a beauty, but one the most magnificent landmarks of GDL. My best advice is to come on a Sunday, when the streets are closed off to auto traffic, walk around the circle, and take in the magnificence of the statue.

    This is a really special place for me. I spent 1 year living in the building that overlooks the…read morefountain and think it was one of the coolest experiences of my life. While downtown may have some churches, museums and big market with a bunch of Chinese knock offs, the Minerva is where López Mateos meets Av. Vallarta; and in my book this is the heart of the city. If I wanted to know what was important in Guadalajara I would put my head out the window and see what was happening in the Minerva. Parties, protests, the Pan American games and that barely scratches the surface of all the events that take place around that big fountain. I love looking at old photos of the Minerva, before there were a ton of cars. More people used the area as a park and would hang out on what is now the landscaped ring around the fountain. Still, to this day, tourists come from all over the world, ride the tapatio tour bus and take in the beauty that you find in the oddest places of Guadalajara, like a traffic circle. Sundays are dedicated to the Via Recreactiva and the long boarders are always putting on a show right there. I mean the whole stretch of more than 25 km of streets closed to automobiles starts in the Minerva. They have created a spectacular sense of community that few cities can duplicate. The Jalisco en Vivo concert series, while I thought was a huge waste of taxpayer's pesos, packs over 50,000 people way down Av. Vallarta for a pretty cool event. I got to see Marc Anthony, Jenny Rivera (RIP), Bellanova and a ton of really important entertainers from my patio. I think the highlight of my year in the Minerva was the Mexican national soccer team's first round victory against the French in the 2010 world cup. The place went nuts. Tens of thousands of fans congregated in the glorieta to celebrate and jump up and down on top of police vehicles. They even show the games on a big screen in the circle and fans post up hours before hand. Grab a bike or a skateboard and get with it this Sunday. This place really is the best of the best in the 'perla tapatia'.
