Tepotzotlán - National Museum of the Viceroyship Museo Nacional del Virreinato

The Cloister of Fountains leads to the Capilla Doméstica (domestic chapel), in the gateway (portería) of which paintings by Miguel Cabrera can be seen. The chapel, dating from the middle of the 17th c., which was later restored, has vaulting with decorations showing the coats of arms of the six most important orders in New Spain. The altar with its sculptures, mirrors and pictures of Jesuit saints, is particularly interesting. To the left is the kneeling figures of the patron Pedro Ruiz de Ahumada.

In the many rooms and corridors of the museum there is a varied sequence of mainly ecclesiastical treasures from the 16th to 19th c. They come from all over the former viceroyship of new Spain and include sculptures, altar panels, and paintings by the most significant artists of the period, as well as furniture, porcelain, weapons and church implements of all kinds. Part of the premises is used regularly for concerts and theatrical performances.
