Museo José Guadalupe Posada
Posada is considered by many as the founder of modern art in Mexico. Since his death nearly a century ago, José Guadalupe Posada's work has steadily gained popularity with art lovers and Día de los Muertos celebrators alike. He is especially known for his calaveras images of whimsical skeletons. While the illustration of the high society woman is one of Posada's most highly regarded pieces, it's also one of the most recognizable images of the Día de los Muertos celebration. Adjacent to the museum, you'll find the Encino church (ca. 1796) and garden where food vendors await with bocadillos.
Nothing too amazing here: just a duck pond and some rabbits/aviary on display.
Aguascalientes is a colonial town full of history. If history is one of your main interests the Teatro Morelos should be on your list of stops. Here is where the supporters of Carranza, Villa and Zapata, gathered after defeating Victoriano Huerta upon drawing up a program for the government which led to the Revolutionary Convention and the Plan of Ayala. It was represented by men such as Alvaro Obregón, Felipe Angeles, and Francisco Villa. The Teatro Morelos is where Eulalio Gutiérrez was appointed president in 1914 also. The theater was opened in 1885, the National Poetry Prize is presented here during the San Marcos Fair.
Circa 1738, this Baroque-style cathedral is the diocese of Aguascalientes where, as you probably guessed, the patron saint is the Virgin of the Assumption, immortalized in relief in the front edifice. Look for an interesting painting of the Spanish warship San Juan Nepomuceno in the apse of the church, or just admire this city landmark from the La Plaza Patria outside the front steps.
