First of all, you have to have an interest in these types of things in order to appreciate this museum. For me it was a great experience. I went on a two-week school trip to Guanajuato, while there we visited this museum. It was definitely one of the best museums we visited. Guanajuato is filled with all things horror, scary... more

Great disappointment. Guanajuato is a beautiful city, but the museum could not been more disappointing. Very little to see and what is there is grotesque, the place even smelled bad. Must Miss! more

Guanajuato is one of the must beautiful cities I have seen. We intentionally went there to visit the mummies for our anniversary. The museum has many mummies, all with names and pictures and stories beind them. Truly an experience not to be missed! more

However, recently they gave the museum a face lift (that only took 60 hours to complete) and the ambiance that the museum once had has vanished. Granted, the upgrade is very nice, but with the marble floors, nice halogen lighting set in fancy stainless steel hanging lamps, and... more

I had always wanted to visit the mummies after reading about them as a girl so I went the first week in November to tie in with Mexico's Day of the Dead. They had a beautifully laid out Day of the Dead altar at the entrance along with poignant photos of traditional mother/father with dead children that was quite common... more

Guanajuato it´s a pretty place but I felt a sinister athmosphere In all the town. I never has been afraid about horror movies, but this museum was my horror ultimate experience, I agree with other TA members , don´t go with small childrens, this place disturbing me for the next 2 nights, I was thinking in the dead people because... more

I went to the museum on May 2, 2005. There are now two parts to the museum. I was asked in Spanish, "Ambos museos?" Which means both museums?
