The extraordinary Museo Pedro Coronel is housed in a 17th-century former Jesuit college and, given that it was recently remodelled, is one of provincial Mexico's best art museums. Pedro Coronel (1923−85) was an affluent Zacatecan artist who bequeathed his collection of art and artifacts from all over the world, as well as his own works. The collection includes 20th-century works by Picasso, Rouault, Dalí, Goya and Miró; and pre-Hispanic Mexican artifacts, masks and other ancient pieces.
