ZACATECAS

MUSEUMS

Colonial Museum of Guadalupe: it has one of the most important collections of colonial paintings in Mexico, with monumental canvases signed by Miguel Cabrera and Juan Jose Arnaez, and a beautiful representation of Saint Christopher made by Nicolas Rodriguez Juarez. A painting of the Passion of the Christ and the Life of San Francisco of Assisi also stand out.
The attractions of the museum include two artworks made with feathers, and several Christ figures made of Maize cane and marble from the XVI century. Besides, it has an invaluable library keeping 10000 out of the 30000 books it originally housed.
Its seat is the former school of FIDE Propaganda of Our Lady of Guadalupe, founded in 1707 by Fray Antonio Marfil de Jesus to form friars in order to evangelise the infidels of the northern zone of New Spain (Mexico).
The architecture of this building is baroque and one of the most visited areas is the choir, an ambience that still keeps the original choir stalls of carved wood. It has representations of the litany of Loreto and gilded figures of the saints of different religious orders.
The Chapel of Naples, a magnificent jewel of neoclassical style laminated in 23-karat gold, built in the XIX century, can be appreciated from this space. This edifice still keeps its original aspect in spite of the passing of time; in 1918 it was declared National Monument and opened its doors as a museum.
