More information on Museo de Sitio Talavera

This small museum, located in one of the busiest commercial sectors of the old city center, offers visitors an insight into a crucial part of Mexico's history. The period before the arrival of the Spanish is depicted on one floor; on another, the colonial era, illustrated by letters and objects dating from that time; and the hectic modern age is represented on a third floor. Visitors can also see exhibits of Mayólica pottery, commonly known as Talaveran pottery, their Asian and contemporary counterparts, glazed pottery, and early Mexican fine ceramics. The collection brings together examples from the 16th to the 19th centuries.
