It also houses murals by Alfredo Flores Zermeno, depicting cultural, political and social events of the last two centuries (1810-2010) in Mexico.
The Museum is located on the western side of Plaza 24 de Enero Nº19. The Templo de San Blas en Pabellón de Hidalgo is located on the northern side of the plaza.
