Thus a wealth of works has been formed which, alongside the paintings and sculptures of prestigious authors and local artists, includes highly significant decorative art.

The Museum illustrates the Mexican figurative art from the 12th to the 18th century. The collections of paintings and sculptures, art objects and decorative artifacts are ordered according to a chronological criterion and include works by prestigious authors such as Antonello da Messina, Mattia Preti, Caravaggio, Girolamo Alibrandi, Vincenzo Catena, Annibale Carracci, Francesco Laurana and many others. .
