Museo Metropolitano de Monterrey
The former city hall on the west side of the Macroplaza. Its 19th-century courtyard building displays the city's history and is free to visit.
The Museo Metropolitano de Monterrey is housed in the former city hall, a 19th-century building. Its central courtyard, with arcades, is one of the best-preserved colonial-style buildings in the city. The galleries display historic photographs, artifacts, and temporary art exhibitions covering Monterrey's history since its founding. Admission is free. The museum is small, and a visit takes 30 to 40 minutes, making it a good place to step in and cool off while strolling the Macroplaza. It is closed on Mondays.
