The Casa de la Cultura

Location: Calzada Glavan

Located at Calzada Glavan at Ejercito Nacional, about a half mile north east of the main plaza. This building contains art displays, has art schools, and is the home to a theatre. This theatre seats about 800 people.

The grounds are nicely landscaped. There is a small cafe on the ground floor of "the workshops building" which is located near the theatre. A good place to visit before visiting this center is the tourism office located in the main plaza. They can give you times and schedule information of the exhibits and the theatre performances. The main building in this center is open every day from 9am until 9pm.

The main art display at this Cultural Center is the Museum of Western Cultures. This museum displays literally hundreds of figurines and ceramics that date before the arrival of the Spanish in Mexico. These objects are all from the State of Colima. The explanations are all in Spanish. If you do not understand Spanish bring a translator.
