Museo Universitario del Chopo

A mecca for the alternative scene and a cultural laboratory for new forms of expression

AREA

What Makes It Special?

It is an icon of the city's alternative culture. This museum has become a space of freedom for new generations of artists, collectives, and emerging forms of expression.

Did You Know…?

The building was brought over from Germany in the 20th century to serve as an exhibition hall. Its steel structure and industrial cathedral-like atmosphere make it one of the most unique venues in the country.

Don’t Miss

Check the schedule before you go: there are performance art shows, queer art exhibitions, experimental music, visual poetry, and more. You can also attend talks, concerts, and independent film screenings.
