Large sacred art museum opens in rear of Guadalajara cathedral

You won’t find any Titians, Rembrandts or Rubens, except for a copy of one Rubens oil painting, but a visit to the new Museo de Arte Sacro [Museum of Sacred Art] in Guadalajara’s city center, is nevertheless enjoyable and a pleasant respite from downtown hubbub.

There is no prominent signage to draw in visitors, but the large museum’s entrance (17 Liceo at the corner of Morelos) is clearly set in the grey cantera stone at the southeast corner of the block that the main cathedral takes up. Inside, the museum’s approximately 12 large and small rooms on 3 1/2 floors house over 200 items and offer a couple of surprisingly charming views of the cathedral’s interior and the adjacent, bustling plazas.
