A relatively small museum, Museo Hidalgo is still an interesting and educational place to visit,…read morepacked with small figures illustrating moments in the history of both the Mexican revolution of independence and of the city of Salamanca itself. Various photographs adorn the walls, chronicling the change and growth of the city, with educational videos to provide a narrative. The building itself is part of history, being where Hidalgo was hidden during his march to Guanajuato, at the beginning of the revolution, and from which he would give a speech, rousing members of the city to rise up with him and join the revolution--and the march. The museum itself is comprised of two floors, the first of which I just covered--the museum proper; the second floor is really more an art exhibit than a history museum. Apart from the beautiful painting depicting Hidalgo along with people from Salamanca (Salmantinos) who aided him, the balcony from which Hidalgo gave his speech is the only historical thing of note. A small, hardly noticeable, unframed sign is the only thing drawing attention to the balcony, which is cordoned off. The rest of the second floor is dedicated to about a dozen or so sculptures by a man named Hugo Fernandez, who does not appear to be from the city. The works are, nonetheless, interesting and beautiful, made from repurposed construction and industrial materials, as well as old and obsolete machines and appliances, so you'll find concrete, bronze, wiring, springs, and nails incorporated into his pieces. Perhaps not the largest, or most exhaustive museum on Hidalgo, it's more a museum that's trying to capture and preserve the city's part in a larger history, while also chronicling its own. The building is named after Hidalgo, but it's more about Salamanca, which is definitely not a bad thing, just something to note. Not far from the Plazoleta Miguel Hidalgo it's open in the afternoons and then again in the evening, plus it's free, so it's DEFINITELY worth checking out.

The cost of entry is 50 pesos, which I was a bit reluctant to pay. Let me tell you, it was well worth it! The museum is clean, well organized, and has many vibrant displays.

Do yourself a favor and go all the way to the top of the building and spend some time on the terraces. They offer a relaxing roof-top view of the city.

In other words, great for those with short attention spans. Until he was 6 Diego Rivera lived in the house in which this museum is situated. Here you can see the rooms he once played in and view a collection of his works though nothing large-scale like the murals for which he really gained renown. In addition to Diego's works (which you're not permitted to photograph) in many art genres, there are a couple of other art installations. On this visit the most interesting of these was the very top floor which featured the work of Guanajuato artists whose work I'd have enjoyed a whole museum being filled with. There's a lot of stairs to navigate here but an elevator if you cannot do so. Definitely worth a stop if you're in Guanajuato and enjoy museums and/or Diego Rivera. And, if they know you speak only English they'll screen a 7-minute film, in English, telling you more about the space and the featured artists.

With no expectations we were delighted by this spectacular property. I would give the magical Museo Ex-Hacienda San Gabriel de Barrera gardens six stars and the manor, 4 stars. This hacienda was once a major world influence of silver. Built at the end of the 1600's for a Captain Gabriel de la Barrera, heir to the Valenciana silver mine, the grounds stretch over 22,000 square meters. The Hacienda is divided into 16 areas, complete with 17 gardens, all groomed to a different style surrounding the various manor buildings and small plazas. I walked through the various gardens toward the manor house. The weather started out sunny, then some gray clouds came and after a few drops, the sun reappeared. The property is a photographers dream. This place is a must see when traveling in the Guanajuato/San Miguel de Allende area.
