Pinacoteca Universitaria Museo y Centro Cultural
About This Museum
Tucked away on a quiet street in Colima's historic center, this university-run museum feels like a wonderful secret. It’s housed in a beautifully restored old building that once served as the state's government palace, giving the art a real sense of place. The collection is surprisingly eclectic, spanning from colonial-era religious paintings to bold, modern works by Mexican artists. There's a lovely, almost scholarly calm here, making it a perfect escape from the city's bustle.
Collection Highlights
You'll find everything from dramatic 19th-century portraits to contemporary pieces by local artists; keep an eye out for their rotating exhibits of university student work, which are always fresh and exciting.
