Charro Tradition Museum

Pride in Hats and Spurs: The Living History of the Mexican Charro

AREA

What Makes It Special?

This museum celebrates the history and legacy of charrería, considered Mexico’s national sport and designated by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. It is housed in a beautiful 18th-century convent.

Did You Know…?

Charrería is not just a spectacle—it’s also about tradition, family, music, honor, and style. At the museum, you’ll find authentic charro outfits, saddles, spurs, hats, historical photographs, and ritual objects.

Don’t Miss

Ask about the guided tours: it’s well worth learning about the context and details of the exhibits. And if you’re lucky, you might catch an event or performance in the central courtyard.
