Por fuera parece pequeño, pero el recorrido sí toma su tiempo. Si tienen la oportunidad de solicitar un guía será mejor... Muy interesante el arte dentro del museo.

Hermoso museo, no me esperaba lo que me encontraría dentro Vale la pena visitarlo, mucho arte y se aprecia como vivían los religiosos desde sus hermosas cocinas, comedores y donde tomaban sus baños

Recuerdo este lugar desde que era un niño, sin embargo ahora que regrese puedo asegurar que sigue siendo un museo digno de visitar,las personas que te atienden son sumamente amables,el Guía Moisés es muy bueno en su trabajo, realmente te hace sentir la crónica de lo ocurrido en ese lugar. Felicidades

Una experiencia muy agradable el museo y las piezas aterciopeladas increíbles. También una destacable atención por parte de la guía Jessica, es muy amable y nos atendió de maravilla en todo momento respondiendo todas nuestras preguntas y haciendo el recorrido más ameno. 🙏🏻

The Convent of Santa Mónica is a testament to the spirituality and art of New Spain. The galleries display an extensive collection of sacred oil paintings, executed in diverse techniques and styles. Each canvas reveals the mastery of the artists who, inspired by faith, depicted biblical scenes, hagiographic passages, and delicate iconography that conveys devotion and spiritual fervor. The tour reveals the daily life of the Augustinian Recollect nuns. Their work, duties, and roles within the convent are shown through documents, objects, and spaces that evoke discipline, silence, and dedication. The kitchen, the refectory, and the gallery reveal the communal organization, while the catacombs recall the transcendent dimension of religious life. Among the collection of objects and relics are rosaries, reliquaries, liturgical vestments, and ceremonial utensils that accompanied devotional practices. The exhibition highlights the close relationship between art and the church, showing how artistic production was inseparable from worship and devotion. The tour culminates in a reflection on the worship and devotion that gave meaning to convent life. It invites you to recognize how faith was translated into images, objects, and spaces.

An excellent experience! It's a must.

Fantastic experience! A very interesting and fairly big museum of regions art. Juan Pablo, our guide was the most wonderful, enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide one could hope for. He took us around the museum and shared his wealth of knowledge with us. This place was a Convent for 200 years until the nuns were expelled. The art is very closely tied to the culture in Mexico. A great place to spend a few hours.

Our guard Juan Pablo was amazing, lots of enthusiasm & information.

Seems like something out of a story book. Nuns hiding behind hidden walls from the government whom wants to oppress them.

Beautiful and full of history. Our guide was definitely NOT into it though. Be sure to go to the convent before the church.

Amazing story. You need a guide to tell the story of creative existence

Excelente museo información súper interesante , lamentable el estado físico de algunas salas así como falta de contenidos multimedia, es un museo muy completo, pero que requiere fichas renovadas, señaletica moderna, iluminación moderna para los espacios y piezas , renovaron los jardines pero no lo demás …

Some items from exhibition & convent history were removed to make the place more palatable for the public. Still a great place to visit!

The Convento of Santa Monica was a place where the Spain soldiers wife's go to shelter and were some women go to reforce their religion, it is a cultural place because of the material that they use to build it and the sacred art that is exposed in it. Is located on 18 oriente in the center of Puebla, when I go I get surprised because of the form that express all the phases that the building cross.I recommend the explanation tour of the place because they explain all the history and the explanation of the art that they have.

The museum of religious art former convent of Santa Monica is the most complete vestige of the Baroque architecture of Puebla. Being a 17th-century building, the museum has a unique collection of its genre, which is made up of religious objects and paintings. In its twelve rooms the daily life of the Augustinian nuns is exposed, their profession, their rules and even the crypts where the remains of some of their oldest members are found, since the nuns were of cloister and could not leave the institution until his death.

Nice place

Very nice old building with two internal patios and a lot of well presented items like paintings and daily religious artefacts.

Los domingos la entrada es gratis, no cuenta con estacionamiento por lo cual ha que dejar los carros en los estacionamientos ubicados atrás del museo (calle 16 poniente), el recorrido es guiado y al finalizar se le da una cooperación voluntaria al guía. Hay mas de 500 reliquias en éste museo aunque no todas están exhibidas, la más importante es la de un corazón que en su momento fue tratado con formol y luego puesto en un contenedor redondo de vidrio que se encuentra exhibido en la planta alta del museo.

Muy caro y están las áreas en remodelacion y falta cuidado en las imágenes realmente muy altero con respecto a que es de un exponiendo y hay muy poca información sobre las mismas hablan mas de otros personajes

The museum is very interesting, and the staff are very friendly. The only problem was that the internal steps in the courtyard are not well marked (although there are ramps at the corners), and the difference in level is not easily visible. This caused an elderly person in our group to fall, with serious consequences for their health. It would be highly advisable to take action regarding this.

Las 2 veces que eh visitado el museo eh llevado grupos y el trato ha sido grosero, comunicación poco clara, hice una reservación solicitando un recorrido guiado con un grupo nuevo y al llegar no le habían notificado a la chica que nos recibió, un grupo antes que nosotros entro y le dieron el recorrido siendo que nosotros reservamos con semana de anticipación, decidimos recorrer las salas sin guía y regresaron a mi grupo de una forma tajante. Hay poca comunicación, no son claros , la actitud es grosera y no proponen soluciones, mi grupo las que desepcionado se fue molesto , ya que no les dieron explicación, recorrido y terminaron negandoles el acceso a algunas salas . Es un museo lindo , desafortunadamente por las experiencias previas en el ya no llevaré grupos y tampoco lo recomendaré en mis itinerarios.
