This small underground museum features a collection of 18 th century religious paintings. The building is distinctly Victoria, reflecting Mexico's adoption of Brithish and French architectural styling in the late19th and early 20 th centuries. Chihuahua's unwavering devotion to its most famous hero, Revolutionary General Francisco Villa is on display at this museum devoted to the Mexican Revolution of 1910 and its most famous General. The two-story museum is located about 15 blocks southwest of the city center in a quiet residential neighborhood. Though a bit tattered, with display descriptions only in Spanish, the museum is an attraction not to be missed.
Displays are well marked in English and Spanish.
