Mexico City is renowned for its abundant museums, heritage sites, and cultural richness. In fact, the capital has over 173 museums, big and small spread out through its 16 alcaldías or burroughs. The presence of these cultural spaces injects and intensifies the artistic appeal and aspect of the vibrant city. With many pioneering Mexican architects having intertwined modern art and architecture, this gave rise to iconic museums and classics of Mexican modernist architecture.
While the modernist museums reflected important 20th midcentury growth in the capital, contemporary works are just as relevant to highlight as they convey a strong effort at reformation and access to art/information for all. As they bring together traditional aesthetic notions, modernist principles, and new materials/ technologies, Mexico City museums are certainly worth the visit.
