The Museo del Obispado, also known as the Museo Regional del Obispado, is a cultural institution that is committed to preserving and promoting the artistic, historical, and cultural heritage of the Nuevo León region. This museum is housed in a building that was originally constructed for religious purposes and has served various roles throughout history, including a military barracks and fortress, a leper colony, and a cabaret, before being converted into a museum in 1956.
