Museum presenting a collection of abstract art including that of the Mexican painter and sculptor Manuel Felguérez.

This museum is located in a building that was originally the site of the Seminario Conciliar (1888-1914), before being converted into a military barracks during the Revolution and then divided into small popular apartments(vecindad) to finally fall into disuse. In 1964, the building underwent multiple transformations to become the State Penitentiary Centre, taking over from the former Convento de Santo Domingo (now the Museo Pedro Coronel); it remained in operation until 1995. The museum opened its doors in its current version in 2001. It exhibits an important collection of abstract art, a large part of which belongs to the collection of the Mexican painter and sculptor Manuel Felguérez, born in 1928 in Zacatecas. The museography is superb; don't miss the room where the gigantic paintings of the Ruptura movement are exhibited, which were sent to represent the Mexican pavilion at the Universal Exposition in Tokyo in 1970. In addition to the works of the representative artists of this movement, there are works of the following generations. A large part of the museum is also dedicated to the work of Felguerez, between sculpture and visual works presented in spaces preserved almost as they were in the old prison or in a beautiful chapel with refined contours. Of particular interest are the works of the project La Maquina Estética, the first digital art project conceived in Mexico thanks to the first computers of the UNAM (1973).
