The small but absorbing Museo Arqueológico displays pre-Hispanic archaeological finds accompanied by fascinating wall texts in Spanish and English.

Museo de Arte , opposite, is a small museum which makes a convincing case for the vitality and innovation of contemporary Mexican art with changing exhibitions of digital works, sculpture, prints and paintings.

Also worth a peek is the Casa Machado , a restored 19th-century house filled with antique French and Austrian furniture, Carnaval costumes, historic photos and other items. Its 2nd-floor terrace affords a panoramic view over Plazuela Machado.
