Regional Ceramics Museum

The Regional Ceramics Museum was opened in 1954. The purpose of the museum is to preserve and develop the indigenous crafts of the state of Jalisco, especially ceramic craftsmanship. The initiators of the museum are the National Institute of Indigenista and the National Institute of Anthropology.

This original collection of ceramic artifacts was collected by historian Isabel de Marin Pallen and Daniel F. Rubin de la Borbolla, collectors of Jalisco folk art.

The museum has several halls where you can see ceramic toys, masks, various figures of cowboys, angels. There is a group of subjects telling about past and present presidents of Mexico.

A separate hall is equipped in the form of a kitchen of the late XIX – early XX centuries. There is also a room dedicated to the art of Huichol, and an exhibition telling about blown glass.

In the courtyard of the museum there is a collection of ceramic baths of the XIX century, many of which have decoration in the form of a double-headed eagle.
