Pedro Coronel Museum

The Pedro Coronel Museum, located in the church of Santo Domingo built in 1749, contains a huge collection of works of art, which was presented to the city by the Sacatec artist and collector Pedro Coronel.

The museum was opened to the public in 1983. Here you can see paintings by Picasso, Dali, Chagall, Goya, Kandinsky, Magritte and other famous artists. In addition to paintings, the museum contains masks from West Africa, Aztec-Toltec antiquities and Japanese figurines. There are more than 5,000 masks and puppets of the XIX century.

Pedro followed the example of his brother Raphael, who was the first to create a museum with his collections. Near the Pedro Coronel Museum is a library with an incredible collection of antique books - 25,000 items are stored here.
