★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This must be a very nice place but always (Monday, Sunday) when I came here it was closed :( I think I give in for looking to get inside.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Wonderful museum in San Angel. The museum is huge and really cheap. There is a wide collection of religious art by mexican artists of colonial times. The crypt is a jewel with amazing frescoes and also well preserved mummies. Attach to the museum is a beautiful church with some astonishing domes.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I was very surprised to see that this convent has mummies that are very well preserved despite not going through a curing process, although there isn't alot of information about them other than being burried at the church and then dug up by soldiers looking for treasures but finding only bodies. The rest of the museum is equally impressive. Beautiful paintings and rooms where servant lived have now been converted to display areas. The garden although not fancy by any means is very well kept.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This museum has mummies in the basement area, and I've come to visit them several times, but the whole area was closed due to COVID restrictions in place and the basement had no ventilation whatsoever. I was disappointed I could not visit the mummies, I missed them. If they would just add in ventilation to the basement and allow people in, I would give it five stars.
