"Late Mexican businesswoman Dolores Olmedo turned her estate into a museum in 1994, eight years before her death. The grounds, which are home to peacocks and so-ugly-they're-cute Mexican hairless dogs (Xoloitzcuintle), are as impressive as the hacienda-style architecture and Mexican art exhibits. Olmedo's private collection includes works by Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo, plus Mesoamerican sculptures and figurines. Visitors can also gain insight into Olmedo's fascinating life by visiting her private quarters, filled with family photos and artworks collected during her many travels." - Susannah Rigg
