Ex Convento de Santa Rosa

Great museum where you can tour the beautiful kitchen where mole poblano was created. We were only allowed to tour the museum with a guide, which was completely free and full of interesting information (only in Spanish). Our guides name was Oscar and he was super knowledgeable and funny. Along with the kitchen, there are two floors of exhibits ranging from artesanias, traditional dance costumes, masks, and religious imagery all from the state of Puebla. Highly recommend this museum. Oh, and the best part is that it’s free unless you want to tip the awesome guide.

The birthplace of Mole Poblano! The museum was incredible and we had a great tour in Spanish. Not to be missed if you are in Puebla. Informative and extensive collection of handcrafts.

A hidden gem - the kitchens were completely tiled in the local vibrant tiles as a reward for the nuns creating Mole. Our guide explained everything, and the tiling is amazing. Also, all the original tools & utensils are on view.
Upstairs, there is a vibrant and exciting museum exhibiting modern crafts and art, local mexican history, and how the convent functioned. Everything is beautifully displayed and lit. It's peaceful and cool, and it's an absolute joy to be in such a building, seeing treasure after treasure.
There are costumes, masks, and Day of the Dead references.
Downstairs, there is a calm and private courtyard. It's easy to forget you are in the busy town of Puebla!
Our guide was great, fortunately his english was better than our spanish, and we were so glad we had the opportunity to see everything.
There are good loos.

Really nice place to go. The kitchen is a fantastic example of how talavera is an amazing material to use and simply beautiful. The patio is also quite nice. While not in Puebla's center, it is in walking distance for sure. It is going to be a quick visit but worth it. I'm happy to see that each year more area of the museum is restored and accesible to the public.

A must see when visiting Puebla. If possible, take a guided tour to learn about the history of the Ex Convento.

We got a personal, in depth tour. Highly recommend!

Beautiful building that's well-preserved, with courtyards, cloisters, and a stunning kitchen. The displays in the museum are well-done. Slightly out of the way, but easily reachable by the Calle 5 shopping street. A hidden gem that should not be missed.

The birthplace of mole poblano - as I understand it. Beautiful old building from 1698 - China Poblana on the walls - a little strange for an ex-nunnery. Had a guide show me around, but could not ask him about it. Free entry on domingos - 40 pesos on other days.

Had a great guide walk us around the convent gave us history that we would not have otherwise learned. I learned a lot and it was very fun highly recommended

Great Museo with a massive kitchen. Pity nearly all the information is in Spanish.

Amazing place, love the Mexican history.
So much love from a Kurdish guy.

Great little museum. I recommend that you get a guide.

Awesome and equally a sobering experience.

Great history lessons.

Nice

Excelente opción para lxs amantes del arte textil.

Aunque el museo es muy basto y podrás admirar otros tipos de arte además del textil.

Algo que me asombró mucho y que hace se diferencie de otros museos es la amabilidad de todas las personas que colaboran en el lugar, personal de seguridad, personal de recepción y guías.

Otro punto a destacar es que la visita es guiada y no tiene costo extra como en algunos museos. El guía es muy ameno y tiene un amplio conocimiento de todas las dudas que te puedan surgir.

Disfruté mucho el museo. Fui en domingo y el acceso fue gratuito.

Lugar muy impresionante por su tamaño, historia y sobretodo las dimensiones de la cocina del lugar así como sus ollas son impresionantes.

Este lugar es donde se creo el famoso y reconocido mole poblano, literalmente está es su casa y las monjas de aquella época sus grandes creadoras.

El acceso es gratuito, yo fui en domingo con la intención de obtener un sello del pasaporte de museos y no lo pude tener por qué las personas que atienden son muy groseros y con el argumento de que es gratis la entrada no me quisieron poner mi sello después terminaron diciendo que no tienen sellos y estos los tienen en otro museo.
Las personas que dan la visita guiada si son amables.

Un lugar lleno de historia y arte por todos lados y diversión para toda tu familia, los sábados de noche de museos en Puebla es gratis la entrada, la entrada regular cuesta $45.00 más barato con descuentos del INAPAM, etc.

Está enorme el Museo y el recorrido es largo. Lo tienen muy bien cuidado y es interesante ver la cocina y todo. Es un poco tenebroso y más si conoces la historia de las monjas, pero fuera de eso está muy bien.
El único inconveniente es la ubicación.
