Lonely Planet review for Museo de Arte Colonial
The San Carlos University, now in Guatemala City, was founded in Antigua in 1676; what used to be its main building (built in 1763), houses the Museo de Arte Colonial, with some expressive sculptures of saints and paintings by leading Mexican artists of the colonial era, such as Miguel Cabrera and Juan de Correa.
