Museo Leonora Carrington - 78340 San Luis

The Atmosphere was nice grade customer service everything was interesting and educational thanks for the opportunity

One of the best museums I've visited. Great curation work and exhibited works.

This museum was inaugurated in 2019. It has a lot of meaning that in the past, this space used to be a jail, an now its a space to liberate your creativity. The space is beautiful, as well as Leonora’s works, but for me, there are lot of works missing. I really wanted to buy a lithography, and there where none in the store. But if you visit SLP you should visit this museum!

Fantastic museum. Def worth a visit if in town. It was free when we visited on a Wednesday, not sure if that’s the case every Wednesday though

Liked it. I only lament the few amount of paintings from the artists, lots of drawings and sculptures though. Enjoyed the short film, at least that way we could see more of her paintings.

It is an interesting place full of art and beatiful history because in the last century here was the state penitenciary

Awesome place to visit. The art piece are crazy weird. Loved them.

This is a must see museum! I can't believe that I didn't know about Leonora Carrington--until now. During my visit I learned about how difficult it was for women artists at that time, to be taken seriously and given the opportunity to exhibit their work. In what was a male-dominated artistic world (Diego Rivera, Dalí, to name just two from that era), women were the "muses" that inspired male painters and their work was not taken seriously. Considering that dynamic as the historical context, it makes sense why such few female artists acquired the level of recognition that someone like Frida Kahlo did. For one, it helped that Frida was married (twice) to one of the world's best-known muralists--Diego Rivera! Of course Frida Kahlo's artwork was amazing. But so is the artwork by Leonora Carrington, who was also a very talented sculptor, and many other Surrealist female artists from that era. All in all, this is a "must" visit museum when in San Luis Potosí.
