What visitors say
They have so many events. The exhibits are well thought out and presented. I visited for dia de los muertos and it was an awesome presentation. Download the Meetup app to stay up on all the events that they have.
Nice place to visit. Surrounded by homeless people smoking weed. City museums are always a good choice to learn the history if the city you're visiting or leaving in.
