Discover superb art and objects from Mexico’s colonial era at theMuseoNacional del Virreinato (National Museum of the Viceroyalty). Spot everything from ceramics, gilded works and glassware to metalworks, oil paintings, sculptures and weapons. These pieces form part of the series known collectively as Arte Novohispano (New Spain Colonial Art). They serve to highlight the religious and social traditions of Spain’s almost 300-year rule of Mexico. The National Museum of the Viceroyalty is housed in the Templo de San Francisco Javier (College of San Francisco Javier). Built by Jesuits in the 1500s, the church complex is recognized as the epitome of Mexico’s colonial Baroque architecture. Take a moment to appreciate the intricate design of the façade and bell tower. Browse the artistic wonders as you wander between the chapels, cloisters, libraries and patios. A major highlight is the set of 16 oil paintings that decorated the Patio de los Aljibes, which include portrayals of the Spanish knight St. Ignatius of Loyola. Find objects related to the voyages of Christopher Columbus and an exposition of ivory figurines. Spot sculptures of Jesuit saints, including Francis Borgia and Stanislaus of Kostka. See the heraldic badges of some of the first Catholic orders to set foot in Mexico. Appreciate works by artists such as Cristóbal de Villalpando, Juan Correa and Martin de Vos. The acclaimed Echave family of painters also provided valuable contributions. Don’t miss the 18th-century altarpiece by Miguel Cabrera and Higinio de Chávez. Gaze in admiration at Consuegra’s 16th-century *St. Peter and Paul Reliquary*. The museum sits in the heart of Tepotzotlán’s city center. Visit on a daytrip from Mexico City, which is about a 1.5-hour drive to the north. Buses also travel frequently between the two cities. Tepotzotlán’s main bus terminal is located 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) to the east. The National Museum of the Viceroyalty is open from Tuesday to Sunday and has an admission fee. A free audio guide is available. Ask at the reception area about concerts, festivals and workshops, among other special events. ## Plan a trip to see National Museum of the Viceroyalty Price found within the past 48 hours.
