The Museo de Artes e Indutrias Populares (Museum of Popular Art & Industry) is located in a former school founded by the Bishop Quiroga. He established the school to prepare local Spanish boys to be ordained as priests and to teach local indigenous people a trade, as well as reading and writing. This museum has an extensive collection of lacquerware and is the first of its kind in Mexico. Be sure to notice the stunning floor, which is made of a combination of flagstones and animal bones.
