- Summary
- The house that occupies the current "Museo Universitario Casa de los Muñecos (University Museum House of the Dolls), was built in the 18th century. The building has in its façade, 16 panels made in talavera representing oriental characters popularly known as "the dolls", which according to history -or gossip- are a mockery of the councilors who opposed the construction of this house, more sumptuous than the government houses of the time. Throughout its history, the building has had various uses. In the 19th century it was used as a warehouse for yarns, later it housed the store La Ciudad de Mexico. In the 20th century the Lux cinema and the Hotel Francia were installed. In 1984 the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla acquired and had it restored in a process that lasted 3 years. In 1987 it became the University Museum. However, due to the 1999 earthquake, the museum was under restoration and reopened in October 2006. The collection is composed of baroque and colonial paintings, sculptures, graphic work, drawings, plasterwork, furniture, coins, medals, photography, scientific equipment, natural history, documents and historical objects.
