Galería de Todos Santos

The basics

The gallery is in Centro, Todos Santos’ pedestrian-friendly downtown, where there’s no shortage of chic galleries, artisan shops, and historical landmarks; many tours schedule free time for travelers to explore the area on foot. When stopping by the gallery, you’ll need less than an hour to view the art—mostly drawings, paintings, and sculptures—but should leave enough time to visit the House of Culture, also known as the Professor Néstor Agúndez Cultural Center, across the street.
