  Plazuela de Santo Domingo, In Front of el Museo
by Jetgirly
 
 

Located just a block from the cathedral, Museo Pedro Coronel is a peaceful, pleasant stop on your tour of Zacatecas. Entrance is a total steal at 20 pesos ($2 USD/CAD), and your ticket gives you access to an eclectic collection of art, focusing on contemporary works but veering into everything from Yoruba masks to golden statues of Buddha. Amongst the contemporary artists on display are Picasso, Chagall, Dali and Miro, as well as the museum's namesake's own collection- works by Pedro Coronel Rivera himself. Collections are heavy on sketches and small paintings, don't expect too many sculptures or large works. I found the contemporary works most interesting, but it was also fun to take a wander through some of the other galleries.

Directions: Located in the old monastery attached to the Church of Santo Domingo
