This museum houses the largest collection of art inspired by the literary character Don Quixote, created by author Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra.

The museum first opened in 1978 to display a collection of art pieces assembled by Eulalio Ferrer. It is alleged that Ferrer started his collection trading a pack of cigarettes for a Don Quixote figurine, while in a refugee camp during the Spanish Civil War in 1936.

Additional Info: Opens Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 to 18:00hrs. Sundays and holidays 12:00 to 18:00 hrs. Admission fees apply.

Walk down the street heading towards ‘Teatro Júarez’, behind it you’ll find the entrance to a funicular cable car (Funicular Panorámico de la Ciudad); it will take you up-hill to ‘Pípila’ overlook. From here, you will be able to soak in the colorful view of the city. Enjoy!
