Hidalgo Museum: A Journey through Salamanca's History and Art

Located on the emblematic corner of Juárez and Albino García streets, the Hidalgo Museum is a place of great significance for the people of Salamanca and an unmissable point of interest for visitors.

This museum is not only a space for art, but also holds a rich history, since it was here where the priest Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla gave his famous speech, calling hundreds of people to join the struggle for the independence of Mexico.

The house that houses the Hidalgo Museum was the largest in its time and has been carefully preserved as part of the historical heritage of Salamanca. When touring its rooms, visitors can appreciate various works that recall the Independence and the cultural legacy of the municipality. Among the current exhibitions is “Amor a la mexicana”, which presents a beautiful collection of textile toys, created by the talented Maestra Gabriela Juárez Suárez. This exhibition, which celebrates Mexican creativity and tradition, will be on display until October 31.

The municipal government invites everyone to explore this beautiful place, which is the pride of the Heart of Guanajuato. The Hidalgo Museum opens its doors from Tuesday to Saturday from 10:00 to 18:00 hours and on Sundays from 10:00 to 15:00 hours, offering an enriching experience that combines history, art and culture.

Don't miss the opportunity to visit the Hidalgo Museum and immerse yourself in the history of Mexico while admiring the talent of local artists, we are waiting for you to be part of this unique experience in Salamanca!
