Aguascalientes Museum

The Aguascalientes Museum is the city’s leading art museum, housed in a notable neoclassical building designed by Refugio Reyes Rivas. Built in 1903 as the Escuela Normal del Estado and expanded between 1915 and 1916, it was converted into a museum in October 1975 to honor the state’s most notable visual artists during commemorations of Aguascalientes’s founding. Its pink quarry-stone facade, formal columns, two courtyards, arches, and fountains make it one of the city’s important historic buildings. The collection features painting and sculpture tied to Aguascalientes and Mexican art, alongside temporary contemporary exhibitions, and the front courtyard has also become a place of local identity and self-expression.
