Museo Regional de Guanajuato Alhondiga de Granaditas (pass by)

The Museum in le Alhóndiga was built in the 18th century and originally functioned as a granary to store grain and other agricultural products. During the Mexican War of Independence, the Alhóndiga was used as a fortress by royalist forces. The building houses a museum that tells the story of the Toma de la Alhóndiga and the Mexican War of Independence, as well as temporary art and culture exhibitions. It is also used as a space for cultural and social events in the city [We do not stop at the Alohóndiga, we only pass outside].

Museo de las Momias de Guanajuato

The museum currently displays more than 100 mummies of all ages dating from the 19th and 20th centuries. Most of them have surprisingly well-preserved facial expressions, making them appear as if they were alive. The mummy collection was formed due to a local law that required the payment of taxes to keep the remains in the cemetery. If the relatives did not pay the taxes, the remains were exhumed and stored in a vault in the cemetery. In the 1860s, the mummified remains were found to be in a good state of preservation due to the dry and cold conditions inside the vault. From that moment on, the mummies began to be exhibited to the public in a building near the cemetery.
