These pictures don't begin to do justice to the gorgeous landscaping and manicured gardens surrounding the Centro. The lower picture shows the entrance to the museum between two large fountains, giving the impression of walking on a bridge over a moat. The other photo shows a side entrance, where the very swanky-looking snack bar is located -- bar being the operative word here -- in addition to Presidente beer, there was liquor of every description for sale. I guess some people need a certain amount of lubrication in order to enjoy the finer things in life...
All kinds of modern sculpture is scattered around the grounds. There is also an aviary and another small museum devoted to the Leon family, an important, wealthy, powerful, and influential clan here.
