Museo San Pedro de Arte

Very small, but interesting. They let me in for free. I particularly liked the dioramas and that much was also in English.

Free entry on Sundays 🙂 I loved the first floor city project - buildibgs in Puebla a lot.

Attended a symphony by the Puebla national symphony. The space is gorgeous for that and the sound acoustics wonderful. Best of all, symphony was free of charge.

Beautiful art space in a former colonial era hospital. The interior courtyard with a two story colonnade and decorative canvas cover is very striking. Side galleries include art and history exhibits. Large kids space with a library and toys. Great spot for a break if you are touring Puebla with kids.

Beautiful old building (hospital) that is now a museum. Not a whole lot on display when I was there today - the old farmacia and some old and modern paintings. Friendly staff - free entry (Sunday).

I just walked in . Some free event was going on and I enjoyed it. Wonderful performance Friday 2/16/24

Impressive building, started as an hospital, later it was used for various things, like library and now it's a museum and art gallery

Previously known as “cancha de San Pedro” it was converted to a museo back in early 2000. Now it hosts many temporary exhibitions and it’s one of the venues that hosts “festival internacional de puebla” So be sure to check it out and come here on a regular basis cause it will likely have something different .

The last review was four years ago. Glad there's so much interest in San Pedro Museo de Arte. Sadly it's a a stinker of a museum. First off no credit cards are accepted. No biggie but after spending time accessing an ATM and returning with a 200 peso note they couldn't make change. Had to purchase a drink at a convenience store to get cambio. The exhibits included Japanese masks, some dioramas of life at the former hospital that occupied the building and drawings of naked women. Was finished in 15 minutes. I spent more time procuring the 28 peso admission than touring the exhibitions. The inside and outside banners for a different temporary exhibition were false advertising. Skip this place.

This centuries-old building was mainly used as a hospital until the mid-20th century. By 1998, it became the Museo Poblano de Arte Virrenal and, in 2002, it finally became the San Pedro Museo de Arte. The expansive courtyard is now covered by a translucent rain funnel that protects the space from inclement weather and it is a massive work of art in itself. On my recent visit, the upper galleries featured an exhibition of young artists and I'm often excited at these opportunities because pleasant surprises may await. I wasn't disappointed. I was especially taken by the line drawings of Dinora Palma. Moises Cervantes' hyper-realistic painting displayed his incredible technical skill. Robie Espinoza's images on wood boards titled 'Attempt to Embrace' was lovely in its simplicity. Finally, Antonio Bravo Avendano's large-scale ink on paper work takes a cue from Mexico's long history of woodcut artistry. This museum is a block away from the zócalo and is definitely worth the short walk.

I feel like this place should be more known. It's definitely quite and more than enough room to explore all the different art pieces. Friendly volunteers and employees. And I feel like you definitely get more worth of your penny.
