The Master:<\/b> Debe su nombre actual al ilustre Francisco Xavier Clavijero<\/b>, historian and philosopher who taught in these classrooms.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n The Student:<\/b> Does it sound familiar? Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla<\/b>, the Father of the Nation walked these halls as a young student, absorbing the ideas that would later change Mexico.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n \ud83d\udd04 From Correctional Facility to Art Center<\/b> Like many buildings in Morelia, this palace had a thousand uses after the expulsion of the Jesuits in 1767. It was from correctional facility for priests<\/b> (Yes, you read that right!) It even served as the seat of the Michoac\u00e1n Congress in 1824 and as Civil Registry offices in the 1970s.<\/p>\n However, in February 2008<\/b>, recovered its dignity and educational vocation by being reborn as the Clavijero Cultural Center (CCC)<\/b>.<\/p>\n \ud83d\uddbc\ufe0f The Epicenter of Art in Michoac\u00e1n<\/b> Today, this is a dynamic, world-class space. Its galleries have housed works by giants such as Diego Rivera, Francisco Toledo, Javier Mar\u00edn y Feliciano B\u00e9jar<\/b>. There's always something happening here: from cutting-edge exhibitions to film and music festivals organized in conjunction with the Michoacan University.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udccd Why visit it from P\u00e1tzcuaro?<\/b> Because it's the perfect cosmopolitan complement to your Pur\u00e9pecha experience. While in P\u00e1tzcuaro you immerse yourself in living, ancestral traditions, at the Clavijero you can enjoy high art and contemporary cultural management in a stunning colonial setting. It's free (or very low cost) and will take you about an hour to explore its exhibitions before returning to your lakeside retreat.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
