Founded in 1990, the Brady Museum was a donation by art collector Robert Brady who lived in Cuernavaca for 27 years. Who presented the city with his mansion and art collection as a symbol of his appreciation for the years he lived in it, while he gathered the paintings and art objects, from different countries and times and that constitute a world first class exhibition of art that tourists as well as Mexicans can enjoy in the State of Morelos.
The museum is located next door from the Cuernavaca Cathedral and contains a diversity of art objects and paintings that include masterpieces from pre-Hispanic, colonial and contemporary times, such as oil paintings by the three great Mexican mural artists David Alfaro Siqueiros, Jose Clemente Orozco and Diego Rivera, as well as the self portrait of the latter Frida Kahlo.
At the terrace known as the Tribal Art Room African and Indian masks can be viewed as well as a Cameroonian table and Mexican Huichol doves covered with similar materials.
