Mexico 2018 - Museo Rafael Coronel cont

The tour continues of the Museo Rafael Coronel.  Masks are next up, just a small sample of the many thousands.









And a few of the many archaeological artifacts

Here are a couple more sculptures: 


This museum was the high point of our visit to Zacatecas, though much of the art that we saw elsewhere was exceptional as well.  It was as much about the building itself as the art that it contained.  

A surprise for us was how quiet all of the museums were, very few visitors, at least at that time. The streets were bustling but our hotel was very quiet as well and we noticed that a lot of businesses were closed.  And this was a weekend.  We were told that at holidays it picks up considerably but this particular weekend was very quiet. Fine with us.  As well, we only saw one other obviously foreign couple.  Soon we would be back in vibrant little Guanajuato, though and there would be no shortage of foreign visitors.
