Museo Leonora Carrington en San Luis Potosí | Centro de las Artes

The Leonora Carrington San Luis Potosí Museum is the first place devoted to the work of one of the greatest representatives of surrealism in Mexico and the world. Visiting it is waking up in a dream. In the heart of the Potosi capital, in what was once the State Penitentiary, lies the home of unique creatures of all sizes and shapes: the Leonora Carrington San Luis Potosí Museum. Located inside the San Luis Potosí Centenario Center for the Arts, this museum exhibits sculptures, engravings, drawings, jewelry and personal objects of the artist. Among the wonders that the Leonora Carrington San Luis Potosí Museum houses, five monumental sculptures stand out, five creatures of peculiar charm: The inventor of the atole, who welcomes in the portal of the Center for the Arts; At the museum's entrance, like a protective sphinx, Leonora's cat himself guards his legacy; in one of the side courtyards, a deer in a monk's robe and human hands stands under the shade of a tree; in the other, a fantastic being reaches out to greet visitors with a hug; finally, in the central courtyard, five giant cranes sail in immortality. The Leonora Carrington San Luis Potosí Museum, in addition to magic, is made up of various exhibition rooms, a library, an audiovisual room, a store and a cafeteria. As if that were not enough, here is also the International Center for the Study and Dissemination of Surrealism, the first space in Mexico dedicated to the exhaustive study of this artistic movement. Among the main activities offered here, you will find concerts, seminars, conferences and talks with guest artists. Visit the Leonora Carrington San Luis Potosí Museum and let its fantastic creatures catch your thoughts.
