Lonely Planet review for Museo Franz Mayer

On the opposite side of the Plaza de Santa Veracruz, the Museo Franz Mayer is housed in the old hospice of the San Juan de Dios order, which under the brief reign of Maximilian became a halfway house for prostitutes. The museum is the fruit of the efforts of Franz Mayer, born in Mannheim, Germany, in 1882. Prospering as a financier in his adopted Mexico, Mayer amassed the collection of Mexican silver, textiles, ceramics and furniture now on display. The exhibit halls open onto a sumptuous colonial patio, where you can grab a bite at the excellent Cloister Café.
