• Museo de Sitio Mina Valenciana - Discovered in the late 18th century, this mine became one of Mexico’s wealthiest, yielding significant amounts of silver and gold during the colonial era.

• Museo de las Momias de Guanajuato - This museum showcases over 100 mummies from the 19th and 20th centuries, many of which have remarkably preserved facial expressions, giving them a lifelike appearance. The collection originated due to a local law requiring tax payments to keep remains in the cemetery. If taxes were unpaid, remains were exhumed and stored in a vault, where the dry, cold conditions preserved them. In the 1860s, these mummies were discovered and subsequently displayed to the public near the cemetery.

It may be unsettling for some, as it displays instruments used for torture and executions of those accused of heresy or opposing the Catholic Church during the Inquisition.
