Cactuses

Enthusiasts of cactuses should head down to the Museo de Paleontologia (Paleontology  Museum) Sunday, July 5 to see a magnificent exhibit of more than 100 top-class varieties presented by Cactofilos Guadalajara.

The museum is located at Avenida Doctor R. Michel 520, across from the entrance to the Agua Azul Park.

Exhibit

The curious and imaginative mind of Zacatecas artist Alejandro Nava shines through in his fun exhibit, “Ironias de la Soledad,” up at the Museo de las Artes de la Universidad de Guadalajara (Av. Juarez 975) until October. The show includes 22 sculptures and 32 medium- and small-format oil paintings.
