Introduction
The Museo Rafael Coronel is housed in a disused Franciscan convent (Ex-Convento de San Francisco) in Zacatecas, famous for its collection of Mexican folk dance masks — thousands of painted wooden masks covering regional festivals and religious drama roles. It also shows works by the painter Pedro Coronel, while cloisters and a dry-well garden add to the old atmosphere.
