Tecate Prison cell
3
0
This is one of the cells in this prison turned museum of work by Manuel Felguérez in Zacatecas, Mexico. This cell is covered in Tecate beer labels.
In 1977 Manuel Felguérez together with his second wife, Mercedes Oteyza, decided to design a new museum from the original building of the former seat of the Purísima de Zacatecas seminary, which was constructed in the early 19th century. It was to house his permanent art collection - and one year later the museum was opened. The government in Mexico-City later decided to expand the museum and in August 2001 these renovations were finally completed. The building was redesigned with the goal of keeping its original neo-classical architecture but melding it with modern elements. The result was impressive: elegant show rooms with exceptionally high and decorated ceilings allow the visitors to explore this historic and modern venue.
