Museo de Arte Moderno

5 pedro - 2 weeks ago

Free entry on Sunday!

Some good Orozco and Rivera as well as several other great artists.. There are 4 rooms with art inside the building and sculpture garden surrounding it.

Entrance is from the street side, not the park side.

PS: stand in the middle of the stairs and say something for a fun sound experience

I throughly enjoyed my time at this moma, an afternoon well spent. I visited on a Sunday so admission was free. I found both the interior architecture and the art to be compelling.

The scope of the featured exhibitions was enough to be filling without overwhelming. It took me less than a few hours to make my rounds. I especially appreciated the exhibition on the history of feminist artistic work in Mexico.

I know Mexico City offers so much artistic inspiration, but this museum is definitely worth a visit.

When we visited there were only two salons open, and a small fraction of the gardens. A little disappointing, hopefully when you read this it’s more open.

What I saw was very intriguing and thought provoking. A very cool exhibition documenting the period of 1975 to 1995 - there was a massive earthquake in CDMX in ‘85 which wiped out thousands of buildings in the city and had a major impact on the art of the era.

I also saw a fabulous exhibit which contextualized the current COVID-19 pandemic with other works of other modern periods of change and upheaval. A very well thought out and timely project which I hope other galleries attempt elsewhere.

The building itself is very cool, with a wonderful domed ceiling. I’ve posted some highlights of my visit to this review.

I recommend the museum. Current state budget 90mins max for your visit, we did ours in about 60.

I hate to post a negative review of a museum, but this didn't quite live up to expectations.
The museum is relatively small, with four (large) single room exhibitions open when we attended.
The sculpture walk outside is nice and some of the exhibits were interesting. Due to its small size and small number of very specific exhibits it was a little disappointing.
Tickets are currently 80 peso (July 2022) and free on Sundays.

Loved the sculpture outside and interior of the building and pieces on a display. Not very big but spread in 2 buildings and outside . Definitely worth a visit. Only cost about $80 -85 pesos and can be bought over the counter near the entrance ????

One of the best art museums anywhere. Lots of rotating exhibits, always excellent. Lovely and calm sculpture garden. Free entrance on Sundays, but always quite reasonably priced.

Lovely museum but only two rooms open. Also they were only able to accept cash, this may be temporary but be prepared to pay in cash.
