Instituto de Artes Gráficas

Address: Alcalá 507

Opening time: Sun– Fri 9.30am–8pm; donation

The Instituto de Artes Gráficas is one of many cultural centres in the state sponsored by painter Francisco Toledo. Established in 1988, it displays changing exhibits of works by nationally renowned artists including José Guadalupe Posada, Rodolfo Nieto, Vicente Rojo and Toledo himself. It's worth popping in just to amble around the rooms of what was once a rather grand colonial house and to spend an hour in the excellent art library and idyllic reading room. There are also evening music recitals.
