In Mexico, stone crosses carved with symbols of the Passion of Christ were typically erected in the atrium of a church or convent during the colonial era as part of the effort to convert the indigenous population to Christianity. Many have survived in situ and a handful are in museums and in private hands as part of their collections. The name of any such museum or collector and its location or contact information are requested as part of my research on Mexican Stone Crosses.
I recommend the following sites:

As for private collectors and other museums, I think you must visit the churches, convents and oldest monasteries and places where ancient brotherhoods are, because they retain much of that heritage. Texcoco located in the "State of Mexico" has many places like that, but if you're in the city of Mexico, you could visit cathedrals and seminars.
