Beautiful Museum with a very nice small permanent collection and interesting exhibitions. Only three stars because of one very rude staff member.
I was told by the security staff that I could return the following day to see a new exhibit that was going to open. We'll, I was not, and the person at the entrance was very rude, even after I explained the situation and told him that not only I had a ticket from the day before, but I was a senior citizen and most museums in Mexico city are free for seniors.
That is not the way to treat visitors!
I'm very disappointed. Mexico city is very big and traffic is very heavy, so it took me an hour to get to museum from my hotel.
Luckily for me,
Museum and The National History museum are close by, and I was able to visit them (For free, since I'm a senior), so my afternoon was not wasted.
Train your staff better, please!

A beautiful museum with indoor and outdoor artwork to view and enjoy. Their current art collections included work by artists that not only were amazing at their craft but also had a unique connection with Mexico. An incredible place to visit if you enjoy art!
A stunning museum with two floors of exhibits and outdoor statue garden. There were a variety of exhibits featuring Mexico City artists from Abraham Ángel to Enrique Archie Verría and a visiting exhibit from John Golding. I enjoyed the variety and the setting in Chapultepec Park was serene. A must visit!
You can also find The Two Fridas by Frida Kahlo canvas in this museum.

We loved this museum. It seems like they rotate exhibits regularly, and the current ones were really well curated and displayed. You can see all the inside galleries in 60-90 minutes then spend as long as you want in the wonderful sculpt garden
Musee très complet et d une richesse incroyable bien sûr des œuvres permanentes mais surtout des expo temporaires des riches sur les peintres mexicains et une très intéressante expo sur l architecture et le courant brutalisme à Mexico. Bien entendu la visite du parc est indispensable pour voir l ensemble des œuvres exposées de grandes qualités, Attention paiement en cash uniquement
Not worth the $5 to get in. The only great painting is Frida's. The rest of this "museum's" collection is subpar at best. Skip this lousy museum that is not even worth 1-Star. The employees here are jerks!
A nice museum surrounded by a garden full of art. It isn't a huge museum, but there are many interesting pieces.
There are a few sky lights in this building, which is nice and the rooms had a nice layout.
Sadly, one room was closed, and I can only assume that it is due to a change of exhibition.
I enjoyed my time here as there were many artists that I am familiar with, so it was great to see some of their other work. I have discovered new artists that I would also like to see more of.
I would visit again. I highly recommend the gardens and surrounding parks on a nice day.
85 pesos during the week and free on Sunday.
Gift shop.
Cloakroom was free of charge.

Must see museum on the eastern edge of Bosque de Chapultepec. I went on Sunday when entry is free. It was not at all crowded upon opening or during the 90 minutes of my stay there.
Lots to see and enjoy and contemplate. I was surprised to be as captivated as I was with the volcanos exhibit. Volcanoes, both active and dormant, play a significant role in the Mexican psyche. The idea that nature can be both destructive and nurturing as well as unpredictable. Seismic activity accounts for much devastation in the distant past as well as in more recent history. During my stay the city conducted a seismic alert/readiness test as they do annually to keep the public aware of the threat and how to stay safe when the next one strikes.
In addition to the many striking exhibits the building itself is also beautiful and adds to the aesthetic appeal of the entire experience.

Excellent museum with thoughtful, creatively curated exhibitions. Also, there's a nice coffee cart in a beautiful courtyard. Went early on a Sunday; admission was free, and the museum wasn't crowded.
Beautiful museum space with excellent quality art. I especially enjoyed the sculpture garden.
We had a wonderful time discussing art with our six year old! I appreciate the thoughtfulness that clearly goes into each exhibit, and the size of the museum is perfect, big enough to experience lots of amazing art but not so big that you get lost or overwhelmed. Can’t wait to come back.
Full of modern art treasures with paintings from Orozco, Siqueiros and Frieda Kahlo. They have and entire section dedicated to Diego Rivera that features some of his portraits and his work from his visit to the Soviet Union. Another domed area has a large mural by Ruffino Tamayo. Upstairs was a section dedicated to Remedios Varo, but I don't know if it is permanent. There is a large sculpture garden outside.
Fantastic museum for modern art. Beautiful collections of photographs, paintings, and sculptures. Admission is free on Sundays, but that also means there will be more people. Plan to spend an hour to an hour and a half here. Many signs are in English as well if you are visiting and don’t read Spanish.
Amazing collection of art. And the exhibition of Emma Hurtado and Diego Rivera is a great look into their lives. And to see so many paintings by Diego. Incredible.
The Museum has a nice architecture. And Sunday’s free entry.
Also the exhibition of Remedios Barios. One of the key female Mexican surrealists. Two thumbs up.

I would suggest starting with mapping out the park behind it. That way on your visit you can look around there too. On Wednesday they set up booths. The exhibits were very nicely curated. Diego had quite a few pieces I never seen or knew about. It was very nice to see. Would highly recommend if you’re into the arts.
