Melchor Múzquiz

Julio Galán was a famous modern/contemporary artist in Mexico who was particularly prolific from the 1980s until his sudden death in 2006 in a traffic accident while en route to Monterrey. Like many artists of recent decades, his work was often transitional and while some works felt surreal, others were described as neo-contemporary. He explored varied themes and was embraced by the LGBT community who appreciated his works exploring homosexuality. The museum in Melchor Muzquiz is housed in his boyhood home where he experienced a privileged upbringing. It includes gardens with walking trails as well as rooms featuring decorative arts representative of the 1960s and 1970s.

Interesting small paleontology museum that focuses on the region's pre-history. There are some dinosaur bones and tusks from a wooly mammoth, but most of the fossils are sea creatures found in sandstone formations. There are also displays of minerals describing the local geology. The museum is small, but very modern. Tours (in Spanish) are available.

Beautiful church that looks like an historical colonial era church but is actually a modern building constructed in 1939, but using neoclassical architecture and methods. The main nave is bright and colorful with stained glass windows along the upper gallery and an array of modern murals of Christ and his disciples on a sky-blue background on the walls of the lower level.

Small regional history museum focused on livestock and ranching practices in the local area.

Town park with hiking trails, views of the small waterfall, a zipline, and recreational amenities such as tennis courts, basketball courts, soccer field, and picnic areas. Several areas where you can swim, though some facilities are not well maintained.
