History

By Mike Karanicolas

Located in one of Leon's most notorious prisons/asylums, this museum offers paper-mache style exhibits detailing the site's gruesome history. They also explore the region's legends and folklore. The exhibitions themselves aren't very impressive – imagine a very extensive high school project – but the prison itself is an interesting building and its bullet-scarred walls hold a lot of history. There are also some interesting political and historical murals painted on the outside.
