Robert Brady Museum
Museo Robert Brady
The former home of American collector Robert Brady, whose old monastery outbuildings are filled with art and folk crafts from around the world, displayed as he arranged them.
Brady settled in Cuernavaca in 1962 and converted the outbuildings beside the cathedral, once part of the monastery, into a house he called the 'Moorish House'. During his lifetime he gathered about 1,300 pieces: Mexican colonial religious art, works by Frida Kahlo and Rufino Tamayo, African and Asian masks, and folk crafts. They are displayed in the living room, bedrooms and bathrooms just as he arranged them, with bold colors, like a lived-in home full of art. The small garden and pool are also worth a look. Tickets cost about 100 pesos, and the museum is opposite the cathedral.
