Route

1. Museo Zacatecan, or Zacatecan Museum, is located in the city's historic center and was the headquarters of the Zacatecas Mint, which was founded in 1826. Federico Sescosse Lejeune, a Zacatecan celebrity who dedicated his life to defending and maintaining the cultural legacy of Zacatecas, founded the museum in 1995. Its collection is divided into three thematic lines: Huichol Culture and Art, an encounter with a living ancestral culture that is part of today's cultural diversity in Mexico; Popular Religious Imaginary of the Nineteenth Century, an approach to popular religious iconography that is a relic of an artistic past; and Colonial Forged Irons, notable examples of applied arts.
