Museo Antiguo Convento Franciscano de Santa Ana

TIME : 2016/2/18 9:59:04

Museo Antiguo Convento Franciscano de Santa Ana is a fascinating museum inside the crumbling, but still-functioning Templo de San Francisco, (which is straight ahead as you enter the grounds of the Ex-Convento de San Francisco). the museum showcases Purépecha culture and history and documents the arrival of the Spanish and the peoples conversion to Christianity. The building includes a set of faded murals around the galleries and Mudejar-patterned wooden ceiling ornamentation.
