Don't expect too much of the gift shop. It is limited to having very expensive items. And the t-shirts are rolled up, no way to see what they look like as you walk by. Overall a fantastic international museum. The world needs to see this gem! ***** Absolutamente encantada con este museo. De inmediato puedes notar el toque de tecnología en este recinto, que es nuevo. Mi familia y yo lo disfrutamos mucho. No esperes mucho de la tienda de regalos. Ofrece principalmente artículos muy costosos. Y las playeras están enrolladas, así que no hay manera de saber cómo son si pasas por donde están. En general, un museo internacional fenomenal. El mundo necesita conocer esta joya!

I hadn't visited this museum since its renovation in 2013 so it was like seeing it all for the…read morefirst time. From the sleek multi-story lobby to the galleries to the the glass-enclosed cafe as the centerpiece of a fabulous roof garden, the changes to the Amparo are incredible. The permanent collection looks better than ever in well-designed displays that make viewing each piece an engaging experience. Many museums treat the presentation of their collections almost as an afterthought but the Amparo made this a priority of their renovation and it allows the visitor to better understand the cultural richness of this region and the country. Even though the permanent collection's quality is renowned, it was the temporary exhibitions that really impressed me during this visit. Johanna Calle's 'Silentes' took over a gallery on the upper level and, a month after it closed, it still resonates with me. Her work comments on the social challenges in her native Colombia. Here, she depicts images of the fragility of children in her society using wire, cloth, paper, and felt. She includes stacks of photos of children for adoption. One wall-mounted piece was remnants from a little girl's dress: just sleeves and a collar. The fabric disappeared into the canvas. Ms. Calle seems to agonize over the subject matter that is obviously close to her heart and I couldn't help but conclude that she wants the viewer to feel the effort she puts into each work. It was a powerful exhibition: don't forget the children; don't let them become invisible victims. If you simply want to relax, take the glass elevator to the top floor for a drink in the cafe. Is there a better rooftop experience in Puebla? Finally, I never comment on museum gift shops but this one has some high-quality crafts for sale. If you're looking for a gift that is more than the typical souvenir, you may find it here.

No biggie but after spending time accessing an ATM and returning with a 200 peso note they couldn't make change. Had to purchase a drink at a convenience store to get cambio. The exhibits included Japanese masks, some dioramas of life at the former hospital that occupied the building and drawings of naked women. Was finished in 15 minutes. I spent more time procuring the 28 peso admission than touring the exhibitions. The inside and outside banners for a different temporary exhibition were false advertising. Skip this place.

This centuries-old building was mainly used as a hospital until the mid-20th century. By 1998, it…read morebecame the Museo Poblano de Arte Virrenal and, in 2002, it finally became the San Pedro Museo de Arte. The expansive courtyard is now covered by a translucent rain funnel that protects the space from inclement weather and it is a massive work of art in itself. On my recent visit, the upper galleries featured an exhibition of young artists and I'm often excited at these opportunities because pleasant surprises may await. I wasn't disappointed. I was especially taken by the line drawings of Dinora Palma. Moises Cervantes' hyper-realistic painting displayed his incredible technical skill. Robie Espinoza's images on wood boards titled 'Attempt to Embrace' was lovely in its simplicity. Finally, Antonio Bravo Avendano's large-scale ink on paper work takes a cue from Mexico's long history of woodcut artistry. This museum is a block away from the zócalo and is definitely worth the short walk.

THE TUNNELS ARE CLOSED. YOU CANNOT GO INSIDE THE PYRAMID/TEMPLE AT ALL. If you are okay with that,…read moreyou will pay $95 per person (it is more expensive than listed online) to only see a small amount of the top of it (the rest is underground). IF it is a sunny day, you can climb one small part of the temple steps, but that's the coolest thing you'll experience here. If it's raining, that will be closed so there will be almost nothing to see. UNTIL THEY OPEN THE TUNNELS AGAIN, IF THEY EVER DO, I DO NOT RECOMMEND COMING HERE.
