Museum of El Carmen — Attraction in Mexico City

A really peculiar and interesting mix of religious site and art gallery. It has it all, starting with living rooms of nuns of the past, which are converted into gallery with pictures, till authentic things for making services, altars, both indoor and outdoor, even a giant wooden bench made from the whole tree.

They are accepting credit cards. The only caveat on my opinion, is closing...

Whether you're religious or not, this is a must see with access to many buildings and a main garden. The restoration is incredible on the buildings and artifacts throughout....
