Museo Regional de Guadalajara
A museum housed in a former 18th-century seminary, displaying a mammoth skeleton, shaft-tomb figurines from western Mexico and colonial paintings.
The Regional Museum sits north of the cathedral. The building was originally the 18th-century San José Seminary, and its cloistered courtyard is quiet and peaceful. The collection includes a complete mammoth skeleton excavated nearby, figurines from the Teuchitlán and West Mexico shaft-tomb cultures, colonial religious oil paintings, and ethnographic exhibits from Jalisco. Admission is about 90 pesos. Mexican citizens enter free on Sundays, and the museum is closed on Mondays.
