    - The Teatro San Francisco - Theatre, its origins go back to the nineteenth century. The edifice presents on its façade three semi-circular arches ornamented with bronze sculptures, details that confer a modern touch to the theatre, one of the seven best in Latin America.

    In 1993, the theatre was re-inaugurated, being fitted with all the state of the art advances available, as is a modern computerized illumination system. It has exceptional acoustics, allowing all the assistants (it has a capacity of 942 persons) to take note with absolute fidelity of the music and dialogues carried out by the interpreters of the musical compositions and other routines that are performed on its stage.

Their efforts turned fruitful and their original project has now become a concrete reality that comprises an extended collection of documents and a gallery containing the mineral ores that are actually obtained in Mexico.

    The museum, located in the Mina Street 10, Colonia Centro, is divided into five sectors.

The two others show the human side of this economical activity. In this two last halls are shown, among other things, the original documents of the revolt of 1776, the predecessor to the strikes that later arose all over Mexico, and the first organised syndicate of the miners, created in Pachuca in the year of 1934.
