Suggestions for Museum near Mexico City

Ricardo V. • September 22, 2013The Maya and Azteca rooms are the best ones, however the entire museum is really a must, very well organized and unique collections

Beena K. • December 30, 2018Lesser known than Bella’s de Artes but equally important. This Museum showcases some of the best Mexican artists. They only take cash.

Oscar F. • April 26, 2016Great Architecture and murals inside

David A. • March 6, 2017Gorgeous building, super interesting exhibitions. Currently showing the influence of punk on modern art.

Luis D. • March 4, 2016Love it! The library is awesome, very beutiful

Kandu T. • December 6, 2018An excellent museum with a very contemporary architecture and always offers very good exhibits that change constantly. One of the best places to check new works of art, both modern and contemporary.

Margarita K. • September 11, 2014Great modern museum with a wonderful outside courtyard. Delicious cafe.

Jessica F. • February 19, 2018Inside is not necessary to look at (both architecturally and collection-wise), but exterior makes for a good photo especially at sunset

Sharon V. • July 2, 2018This was an informative and fascinating tour. The estate is beautiful and I learned so much! Buy combined tickets to visits the Diego Museum as well. Bus fair is included and you save time on the line

Rolando Ando/chefcito • January 10, 2018Impresionate exposición...fue temporal, pero realmente espectacular!

Damon S. • August 14, 2018Very interesting and well curated visit. Most of the artifacts seem to come from a museum in Los Angeles and the amount of English is less than expected. Free entry and worth a visit!

Camille V. • August 13, 2018Love it here! However there are no explanations in English (or any other languages except Spanish), which is a shame! I would have loved to read a bit about it

Beatriz G. • May 13, 2022Excelente exposición, museografía e iluminación. La conservación del edificio y la terraza de lo mejor y la atención del personal del museo extraordinaria.

Lisa C. • November 6, 2016This was a great museum where we could learn and remember. Very highly recommended.

Rob • June 9, 2014This place took some time to find. You should bring a photo ID, as they may ask you for one. Inside, a beautiful courtyard is surrounded by murals by the famed Diego Rivera. Really cool.

Yung-Anne Y. • September 17, 2017Guided tour was just as interesting as the architecture. Worth paying for the "photograph" fee.

Go Man Go! M. • July 13, 2018This museum uses the site of the Old Mint, birthplace of the Peso and all countries' pesos therefore.

Rubén B. • April 16, 2017Está genial el lugar, pequeño pero increíble.

Paul F. • April 17, 2016Historic mail center. Like the name says... It's a palace! Very rich and beautiful, make sure to drop in. IT'S FREE!

Gaby S. • April 17, 2019Siempre aprendes más cuando lo visitas. Un museo hermoso

Adrian C. • August 24, 2014Great place to get a general idea of the variety of cultures and art crafts you can find in Mexico. Its worth the 2 hours visit. The shop is great to get authentic souvenirs. Not cheap though.

48 hrs A. • April 15, 2013Visit the Museum of San Ildefonso and check out some of the unique and interesting temporary exhibits always on display. The colonial style of the building is amazing, you can't miss it.- Ale Valdivia

Paula M. • November 28, 2021Great experience, so worth it! It is huge, so you may take between 2 and 3 hours there, but it is very nice.

Laura W. • July 13, 2015The place is stunning on its own!

Rene S. • April 11, 2013Astonishing building. Very pleasant courtyard

Manolo M. • July 12, 2016Suban y hagan todo el recorrido de la cimentación y estructura hasta subir a la punta

Chilango25 • May 13, 2017Un auténtico tesoro escondido en la CDMX. La visita guiada es fundamental, tanto el recorrido como la historia del lugar son fascinantes. Estar en la sala de fundición es un privilegio. ¡Disfrútenlo!

Erik R. • November 7, 2013The view at night of the Castle is just amazing.

Rocio M. • December 8, 2018Una visita gratis que vale mucho la pena. Ver los murales de Diego Rivera y el museo que tienen!.

Kaitlyn R. • October 4, 2018Great modern museum with a few interactive exhibits. I really enjoyed it better than the Soumaya Museum (big silver building next door). Try to go on a tour, it made our experience 100% better!
