"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

Wow! The house is impressive! It was beautifully decorated for día de los muertos paying tribute to many artists of the golden age. The tour was very informative and well done! I'd definitely go back for any occasion!

After visiting the house, you can completely understand why he was so in love with the house. The details and history behind are well worth the visit. The house has a peaceful atmosphere and it takes you back on time. The house is a gem and truly a work of art.

Incredible home of the renowned Mexican director. Labyrinthine with several romantic sitting rooms. Would love to see it alive at night.

A neat place to visit if you've never been a bit of the tourist path. There's food and a mariachi band that plays in the afternoon.
