Puebla de Zaragoza, better known as Puebla de los Angeles, is a city that is always attractive thanks to its rich conjunction of colonial architecture, its fine arts and crafts tradition, and its delicious gastronomy. Nevertheless, let us narrate a cultural experience worth mentioning.

The story is about the Amparo Museum, created by Don Manual Espinosa Iglesias
in memory of his wife, Doña Amparo Rugarcia de Espinosa. The museum opened its doors February 28, 1991, having an exhibition of 4200 m2.

Since its opening day, the Amparo Museum is known as one of the most important cultural enclosures in Mexico due to its fine selection of Pre-Hispanic, viceroy and republican collections, as well as its temporal contemporary art exhibits.

Also, this is the first Mexican museum that employs Interactive Compact Disk technology, in order to enhance the experience of its visitors. Within its 4200 m2 exhibition, Mexican art is notoriously the museum's central topic.

Its Pre-Hispanic collection is not only one of the best and most complete that we have witnessed, but it also provides us, through its 8 exhibition halls, with great insight of Meso-American societies: their development, great artistic sensibility, production techniques, and the application they gave to art objects.
