A must visit place for those who are interested in art.
Beware, they don’t accept credit card, only cash.

Set in a stunning historic building with a wonderful oval courtyard, the gallery itself hosts a range of temporary exhibitions and items from its own collection. When I went there were three excellent exhibitions on perfectly blending contemporary and classic.

For non-Spanish speakers be aware didactics and information is not also displayed in English so have the Google Translate app ready.

Also, you will have to cloak larger bags.

Skip this museum! Very few masterworks, unhelpful and uninformed staff. We visited dozens of museums in CDMX and none of them were bad except this one. Waste of time and money.

It's incredibly cheap to get in, It's a beautiful site with incredible views and areas to take great photos. The featured art exhibit was wonderful at the time of our visit, and the permanent art and sculptures are quite a treat. Not too far from the revolution monument, it's a must stop if you're nearby.

Some interesting pictures but lacking any real blockbusters. I liked the portraits of Phillip II and Frederick of Saxony. There was a nice Ribero of San Sebastian. The building itself is probably as interesting as the pictures, and probably worth the entry fee. It costs 50 pesos to get in and 5 pesos to take photos.

A jewel hidden in the city.
This extraordinary Museum is one of the best in the country. It hosts a excellent collection of Colonial art. This magnificent building was designed by Manuel Tolsá, the famous and multitalented architect.
It's one of the most extraordinary buildings in an area trapped by time & chaos. Fortunately the building remains safe thanks to it's grandeur.

For anyone seeking for Mexican art from 1500 to 1900 this wonderful museum will surprise & fulfill your search. Take your kids to learn about the splendor of colonial and the independent Mexico of the 19th century.

Last but not least, this extraordinary mansion from the colonial times has one of the most impressive circular patios ever built during the neoclassic period.
San Carlos is a wonderful experience to discover and a Unique Masterpiece of architecture, painting and the utterly Exquisite Mexican art.
