Goitia Museum: since 1978 its rooms treasure more than 100 years of contemporary art represented by 170 artworks made by prestigious artists from Zacatecas, such as Julio Ruelas, Francisco Goitia, Jose Kuri Breña, Pedro Coronel, Manuel Felguérez and Rafael Coronel.
Its seat is a magnificent building inspired in the Palace of Versailles; it was built by Spanish architect Maximo de la Pedraja commissioned by Leonardo Reynoso, governor of the state.
Inaugurated in 1946, this palace was the official residence of the governors of Zacatecas until 1962; in that year it became the "House of the People", hosting distinguished guests and students of scarce economic resources.

Pedro Coronel Museum: it is regarded as one of the most valuable in Latin America due to the magnificent collection of artworks of universal character it houses, which were donated to the state by local painter Pedro Coronel.
During his life, this generous artist gathered works coming from different parts of the world, such as Egypt, Greece, Italy, China, Japan, India, and from the distant Oceania as well.
Magnificent works of universal fine arts signed by Salvador Dali, Picasso, Miro, Braque, Hogarth, Chagall and Vasarely are exhibited in its ample halls and aisles; as well as beautiful objects of pre Hispanic art coming from several cultural regions in Mesoamerica.

Besides, the museum has a valuable collection of close to 20 thousand books from the XVI up to the XIX centuries, kept at the Elias Amador Library.
Inaugurated in 1983, it has the former Jesuit school of San Luis Gonzaga (1616-1767), which later was to be in the hands of the Dominicans, as its seat. During the reform of 1859, its cloisters would be turned into the cells of a prison, a condition they maintained until the 1960s.

Capture of Zacatecas Museum: it evokes the epic battle of June the 23rd of 1914 between the revolutionary forces and the federal troops. In this historic clash the insurgent forces, led by Francisco "Pancho" Villa (The Centaur of the North), were the victors.
