It's incredibly cheap to get in, It's a beautiful site with incredible views and areas to take great photos. The featured art exhibit was wonderful at the time of our visit, and the permanent art and sculptures are quite a treat. Not too far from the revolution monument, it's a must stop if you're nearby.

Some interesting pictures but lacking any real blockbusters. I liked the portraits of Phillip II and Frederick of Saxony. There was a nice Ribero of San Sebastian. The building itself is probably as interesting as the pictures, and probably worth the entry fee. It costs 50 pesos to get in and 5 pesos to take photos.

Amazing spot near Mexico City's historic downtown, few blocks from Alameda square. This museum (MUNSC) curates European art exhibits all year long, from Renaissance to Romantic and Neoclassical. It's an amazing palace built by the Buenavista Count. Architecture is astonishing.

A jewel hidden in the city.
This extraordinary Museum is one of the best in the country. It hosts a excellent collection of Colonial art. This magnificent building was designed by Manuel Tolsá, the famous and multitalented architect.
It's one of the most extraordinary buildings in an area trapped by time u0026 chaos. Fortunately the building remains safe thanks to it's grandeur.

For anyone seeking for Mexican art from 1500 to 1900 this wonderful museum will surprise u0026 fulfill your search. Take your kids to learn about the splendor of colonial and the independent Mexico of the 19th century.

Last but not least, this extraordinary mansion from the colonial times has one of the most impressive circular patios ever built during the neoclassic period.
San Carlos is a wonderful experience to discover and a Unique Masterpiece of architecture, painting and the utterly Exquisite Mexican art.
