Museo Universitario Casa de los Muñecos

This is a magnificent representation of Puebla's architecture.

It was built in the second half of the 18th century and belonged to Don Agustín de Ovando y Villavicencio, a councilor in 1773 and the chief constable or mayor of the city in 1791 and 1792.

This building has one of the most beautiful facades in Puebla, with plaster reliefs, balconies with wrought iron railings, and several doors and windows with arches. However, what makes it unique are the 16 panels representing characters popularly known as "the dolls." These figures depict semi-naked men and women in dancing poses, accompanied by pitchers, animals, or musical instruments.

Its rooms exhibit a collection of over 200 colonial paintings.

It also has a room for temporary exhibitions.
