Museo de la Ciudad de Querétaro

Set in a former convent of the Capuchin order in the historic center of Querétaro, this museum combines the city's history with contemporary art exhibitions. Its rooms interpret the colonial and independence-era past of a city where key events of Mexican history unfolded, including the imprisonment of Emperor Maximilian. The cloistered building, with its arcaded courtyards and thick stone walls, is part of the UNESCO-listed old town, pairing historical narrative with rotating art displays.
