About this experience
Clavijero Cultural Center
The Clavijero Palace was built in the 17th century by the Society of Jesus. Today it hosts large-scale contemporary art exhibitions in its baroque cloister, surrounded by orange trees and pink-stone arcades.
Admission is free and the exhibitions rotate every few months, often featuring international artists alongside Mexican masters. The interior patio alone is worth the visit.
