Museum · Barrio de Santa Catarina

"The former home of Emilio "El Indio" Fernandez offers a unique window into the world of this award-winning Mexican filmmaker. Few international tourists seek out the museum, but a visit offers deeper insights into Fernandez's life and the Golden Age of Mexican cinema in the 1940s and 1950s. As you walk around, you'll see his possessions as he originally used them. And the house itself, made of volcanic stone, is a well-preserved example of Mexican architecture during that era." - Susannah Rigg
