On February 28th, Museo Amparo celebrated 25 years since its doors first opened, offering visitors a general overview of Mexican art from pre-Columbian times to today's expressions and practices. Established by Manuel Espinosa and his daughter Ángeles, Museo Amparo has featured since its opening an exhibit of its permanent collection, and a series of temporary exhibitions and activities for all publics. It holds more than 1,700 pre-Columbian artworks and artifacts (considered the most important in a private museum in Mexico), and more than 1,300 works from the Colonial era and the Nineteenth and Twentieth centuries. Museo Amparo is located in the city of Puebla's historic district, occupying the former facilities of the San Juan de Letrán hospital built in 1538 as the city's first public health institution. For their inauguration as Museo Amparo, the buildings were restored and unified under a project of architectural renovation by Architect Pedro Ramírez Vázquez. In 2011, the Amparo Foundation's Board of Trustees launched a new project of architectural updating, developed by the firm TEN Arquitectos and helmed by Enrique Norten, with the intention of offering visitors a new experience in optimized installation and renewed services. Today, the museum offers the following galleries and activities: Permanent collection: Ancient Mexico; Pre-Columbian galleries; Nineteenth and Twentieth Century galleries.
