This museum has become a cultural reference in the region, offering visitors an in-depth look at the legacy left by the father of the nation, Don Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla.
A historic jewel in the center of Abasolo
Located in downtown Abasolo, the museum houses the only certified replica of the baptismal font in which Miguel Hidalgo was baptized. This piece is an invaluable testimony of history, and its exhibition is accompanied by a series of photographs documenting the journey of the font during the centennial of independence in Mexico City. In addition, the museum has a photographic collection that shows the political leaders and presidents of Abasolo throughout its history, offering a complete panorama of the political development of the municipality.
A journey into the pre-Hispanic past
The Miguel Hidalgo Museum not only focuses on recent history, but also houses and exhibits archaeological pieces from the areas of Peralta and La Mina, dating from 300 to 900 AD. This will allow you to learn more about the cultures that inhabited the region before the arrival of the Spaniards and appreciate the cultural richness that has endured over the centuries.
Permanent and temporary exhibition rooms
The museum has two permanent halls. In one of them, documents that narrate the life and work of Miguel Hidalgo are exhibited, allowing visitors to delve deeper into his legacy and his impact on the history of Mexico. The other room is dedicated to the pre-Hispanic cultures of La Mina and Peralta, where you can admire pieces that will transport you to distant times.
In addition, the museum has four temporary halls where exhibitions are mounted on a variety of themes, such as the Mexican Revolution, Mexican traditions and the work of local and regional artists. These temporary exhibitions offer visitors a dynamic and ever-changing experience.
