What Makes It Special?

It is UNAM’s most important contemporary art venue and one of the most avant-garde on the continent. It exhibits works by Mexican and international artists that offer a critical, political, and aesthetic perspective on today’s world.

Did You Know…?

It opened in 2008 and was designed by architect Teodoro González de León as a museum-laboratory. The space combines exhibitions, intellectual discourse, activism, and sound art. Its digital archive and educational program are regional benchmarks.

Don’t Miss

Check the program before you go: there’s always something to stimulate the mind. You can combine your visit with other areas of the University Cultural Center, such as the Sculpture Garden, the Nezahualcóyotl Hall, or the Central Library.
