Museo de Arte de Zapopan

Guadalajara


Two blocks east of the Basílica de Zapopan, MAZ is dedicated to modern art. Four sleek minimalist galleries hold temporary exhibits, which have included works by Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo as well as leading contemporary Mexican artists. Many of the exhibits are interactive, and the museum acts as a nexus for numerous cultural activities, including lectures, workshops and film screenings.
