Mexican Art from the Colonial Period to the Modern Era

AREA

What Makes It Special?

It is one of the most majestic buildings in the country. Its Porfirian architecture is as impressive as its collection, which spans 400 years of Mexican art in a single visit.

Did You Know…?

Before becoming a museum, this building served as the Palace of Communications and Public Works. Today, its marble staircase and its iron-and-glass dome are part of the aesthetic experience.

Don’t Miss

Take a moment to explore the room dedicated to José María Velasco and the colonial portraits. There are also temporary exhibitions featuring photography, contemporary art, and international collections.
