National Museum of Death

Unusual museum tracing Mexican death imagery from pre-Hispanic belief to modern calaveras.

The National Museum of Death is Aguascalientes' most distinctive museum. Its collections move through pre-Hispanic beliefs, colonial religious imagery, popular art, calaveras, and modern interpretations of death.

The subject could be gloomy, but in Mexico it is also playful, satirical, devotional, and political. Visit this before or after the Posada museum and the city's visual language starts to connect.
