It’s a very good museum for a quicker visit - if you’re a tourist, with limited time, I’d make sure to visit the anthropological museum first, but for a quiet afternoon it’s a lovey spot, and it’s kid friendly. The exhibits are a bit random, some great abstract stuff, some installation stuff, a few interesting video projects, not sure there’s a signature piece here, but it’s certainly got some interesting elements. You can be in and out in about an hour and a half, likely longer if you linger a lot, or shorter if you’re just glancing through it all.

If you’re looking to pass a little bit of time while waiting for something else, I’d recommend this. It is a large space, but was a bit disappointed in the variety of art present. It appeared a bit random and very spaced out. Had been hoping to spend longer there but walked through it fairly quickly.

The museum itself it very nice, great collection of arts and beautiful infrastructure.

However, there were a couple employees being rude because our Asian ethnicity. They tried to make a non-existing line from the tile of the floor and followed us very closely during our visit.

As a frequent gallery visitor, I do not appreciate to be disturbed while enjoying arts:/

The space is beautiful but the content is a bit underwhelming. The majority of the works in the museum are about the museum’s history itself. While there is interest in a selection, it felt a bit skewed and unbalanced in regards to other pieces

Quintessential art museum where you get to see the genius of Tamayo plus whatever is on…
On the outside there’s a Fantastic Chadwick, Sosnowska u0026 other sculptures
If you enjoy modern art this is an absolute must. Plus you get the architecture of Teodoro González de León

Another excellent free-on-Sunday’s museum in Mexico City! The building itself is a masterpiece of “art-itecture”. Much larger than expected. Digital pieces as well.

This is my favorite museum in Mexico City. It's on the smaller side especially compared to some of the nearby places like the Anthropology museum, but the collections here at my visit (June 2022) were just amazing!
