Ricardo V. • September 22, 2013The Maya and Azteca rooms are the best ones, however the entire museum is really a must, very well organized and unique collections

Beena K. • December 30, 2018Lesser known than Bella’s de Artes but equally important. This Museum showcases some of the best Mexican artists. They only take cash.

Beena K. • December 30, 2018Don’t be intimidated by long lines during weekends. They move pretty fast. One of the best art museums in Mexico City.

Kandu T. • December 6, 2018An excellent museum with a very contemporary architecture and always offers very good exhibits that change constantly. One of the best places to check new works of art, both modern and contemporary.

Hugo R. • June 30, 2015The art is beautiful, and it's completely free. There is free WiFi, and there are 6 floors of Carlos Slim's illustrious and extensive art collection. I recommend it if you are traveling. Es muy bueno.

Camille V. • August 13, 2018Love it here! However there are no explanations in English (or any other languages except Spanish), which is a shame! I would have loved to read a bit about it

Eric • July 18, 2015A really good museum: the grounds are gorgeous, intimate bits of her life are scattered throughout, and the art is stunning. Make sure to hit Tostadas Coyoacán and Café Avellaneda afterwards!

Gaby S. • April 17, 2019Siempre aprendes más cuando lo visitas. Un museo hermoso

Rob • June 9, 2014This place took some time to find. You should bring a photo ID, as they may ask you for one. Inside, a beautiful courtyard is surrounded by murals by the famed Diego Rivera. Really cool.

Go Man Go! M. • July 13, 2018This museum uses the site of the Old Mint, birthplace of the Peso and all countries' pesos therefore.

Lisa C. • November 6, 2016This was a great museum where we could learn and remember. Very highly recommended.

Adrian C. • August 24, 2014Great place to get a general idea of the variety of cultures and art crafts you can find in Mexico. Its worth the 2 hours visit. The shop is great to get authentic souvenirs. Not cheap though.

Damon S. • August 14, 2018Very interesting and well curated visit. Most of the artifacts seem to come from a museum in Los Angeles and the amount of English is less than expected. Free entry and worth a visit!
