Fodor's Review:
If there were not one piece of art hanging inside this museum, it would still be worth the trip to see the century-old mansion that houses it. The mansard-roofed structure -- with inlaid wood floors, delicately painted ceilings, and breathtaking stained-glass windows in every room -- was the home of a wealthy collector of religious art. The best of his collection is now permanently on display. The finest of the paintings, the 18th-century Virgen de Pomato, represents the Earth, with her mountain-shaped cloak covered with garlands of corn. The former dining room, in a separate building, contains some fine pieces of silver, including a lamb-shaped incense holder with shining ruby eyes. Make sure to take some time to explore the manicured grounds.
