Museo José Alfredo Jiménez

TIME : 2016/2/18 9:59:38

If you don't know of José Alfredo Jiménez before you come to Dolores, you will by the time you leave. (Hint: he's the king of música ranchera and beloved by all Mexicans). Housed in a stunning space – the home where he was born – this new, modern museum cleverly depicts his life through paintings, photos, mementos and recordings (there are hi-tech ear-phones). The first room features an extraordinary painting by Octavio Ocampo, in which are hidden many figures and symbols.
