José Luis Cuevas Museum
After acquiring the historic Santa Inés Convent building in 1983, and relocating its residents, the adaptive reuse project began.Cuevas, along with government agencies and private supporters set to restore the building and perform archeological work.While it was primarily restored to its colonial era appearance, Cuevas had the convent's courtyard roofed with a plastic dome to have a contrary and modern element.[2] The courtyard's patio is dominated by a tall bronze sculpture named “La Giganta” (The Female Giant).In addition it has works by international modern artists, including Roberto Matta, Fernando de Szys-Varo, Leonora Carrington and Remedios Varo.
