A botanical garden enclosed in an art noveau-type structure of stained glass. It feels rather celestial.
The Cosmovitral is a stained glass mural and botanical garden located in Toluca, Mexico. The building takes its name from the mural which is set in the building's huge windows that surround the building and in the ceiling. The building originally was constructed in 1910 as the 16 de Septiembre Market. It was not until 1975 when the first female Mayor of Toluca, Yolanda Sentíes, had the 16 de Septiembre Market reallocated and successfully gauged enough social and political support to transform the building into a space for art. The Cosmovitral was designed by the notable local artisan Leopoldo Flores.

This former convent has a lot of ancient Egyptian exhibits and paintings from colonial to modern times.
Another downtown Toluca landmark.
Catedral de San José de Nazaret
Would you ever have guessed that Toluca has a cathedral too? This one is Neoclassical in style and was started in 1867 but not finished until the mid-20th century. If you look, you can see images of St John, St Thomas, St Peter, and St James on the front. They are in good company.
Museum of Landscape Painter Jose Maria Velasco
Intimate and approachable museum dedicated to the landscape paintings of Mexico's most famous and prolific artist of the 19th century. Most of the displayed works are smaller and less famous than those in bigger, better funded museums in Mexico City/Centro, such as the National Museum of Art (which has several galleries dedicated to the artist) and the Kalusz Museum (which has a good collection of Velasco's Valle de Mexico landscapes)..
A small university history museum.
Museo de la Acuarela
A peculiar museum dedicated to works in watercolor.
