Robert Brady Museum
About This Museum
Tucked away on a quiet street in Cuernavaca, the Robert Brady Museum feels more like stepping into a wildly creative friend's home than a formal institution. It’s the intensely personal collection of Brady himself, an American expat who filled his 16th-century former monastery with treasures from his global travels. Every room is a curated explosion of color, where pre-Hispanic artifacts sit comfortably beside modern paintings and folk art from every corner of the world. You don't just see his collection; you get a powerful sense of the man who lived and entertained here until the 1980s.
Collection Highlights
Look for the vibrant self-portrait by Frida Kahlo, which feels right at home among Mexican folk art, African sculptures, and even a sacred deer dance mask from the Yaqui people. His bedroom, painted in a brilliant shade of pink, holds an eclectic mix of religious icons and modernist pieces that somehow all work together.
Visitor Information
It's a small place, so you can easily soak it all up in under an hour—just remember it's closed on Mondays. The intimate scale makes you feel like you're discovering a secret, especially as you wander the lush central courtyard.
Architecture & Building
The museum is housed in La Casa de la Torre, a charming building that was originally part of a 16th-century Franciscan monastery wrapped around a serene, plant-filled courtyard.
