Mexico City’s “Museum of Drugs”

January 14, 2010, 10:56 pm

The Washington Post has a remarkable article today about a museum in Mexico City –open to officials and graduating army cadets but not to the general public — devoted to the history of drugs, drug traffickers, and the police and military forces who wage war against them. Among the dioramas is one picturing Jesus Malverde,  a highwayman known as the “Narco Saint” and believed by some to be the patron saint of drug dealers.  There is also a not-to-be-missed gallery of pictures from the museum.
