Gene Byron House Museum
Ex-Hacienda de Santa Ana (no street number), Marfil, Guanajuato, Mexico
About the company:
This museum is a recreated fazende - a typical building in which wealthy residents settled at a time when the silver mining industry flourished. Fazenda was restored in the mid-50s of the last century and in our time is a good example of the lifestyle of its last inhabitants - the artist Jean Byron and her husband Virgil.
The creative inclinations of the inhabitants of the house left a colorful imprint on its decoration. It is furnished with delicate taste. The interior is decorated with original pieces of wood and ceramics, paintings, as well as antique furniture. The beautiful garden surrounding the house-museum also delights with its tranquil beauty.
The house functions as a museum with regular exhibitions. There is also a cultural center, where Baroque music concerts and various applied arts are held. Some of the artwork can be purchased.
