Military museum in Guadalajara

We just visited the Cuartel Colorado a military museum in Guadalajara near the Mercado San Juan de Dios,it has a very impressive collection of antique weapons from around the world,mostly from the private collection of Porfirio Diaz and lots of other historic Mexican military memorabilia,it's worth visiting if you're in the area.

On which street is it? I would love to see it.

Valentin Gomez Farias#600.Google Cuartel Colorado,I was impressed,I think you'd enjoy it.Closed Mondays.

¿Were there any Mexican pre-Columbian weapons?

Not that I saw,most were weapons from the Conquest to the modern day weapons used by the Mexican Military.
But it's a great collection,everything from classic Colts and Winchesters to fine Samurai swords and replica medieval catapults,they also have some vintage airplanes.

In a Colima museum there is a helicopter made form bones.

Chris:

Is the museum anywhere close to the military hospital complex?

YES

It's right next door to it,I've heard that it's a good hospital.

Well that's handy having a hospital next door to all those weapons. Eh

If you look in the photo below, you will see planes and weapons parked on the lawn outside of the hospital:
