National Art Museum

Very intetesting - mix of contemporary, historical and lots from thev20s 30s and 40s. The building is spectacular

So fantastic! This is a must-visit if you're in Mexico City! We had a long layover in Mexico City and went here and it absolutely did not disappoint.

Beautiful museum in a historic and impressive building. We happened to visit on a Sunday, so admission was free. I'm not sure what they normally charge, but the museum is worth a visit one way or another. I really enjoyed seeing a few more Diego Rivera pieces.

Another incredible museum in Mexico City. Highly recommend a visit if you are in the City. Adds a wonderful cultural/historica context to this amazing city.

I really wasn't all that impressed with this place. As someone else said, the building is huge (and has nice staircases) but not enough art to fill it. This is especially true on the top floor (2 floors of art). Lots of space and largely empty rooms, and the art is mostly of the same theme (religious) and of a similar style and time period.

The lower floor (2nd piso) has a wider range of art to see in styles across the 19th and 20th century as well as some sculpture. Themes vary. I wasn't struck by anything but perhaps an art history person will readily identify the different movements that differentiate the styles (even I could clearly tell the differences) and enjoy the works.

I did like a couple of pieces here and there, but I just was underwhelmed overall and had higher expectations especially when seeing the line around to the back of the building on Sunday (free entry day I think). I went on Wednesday with no line. If you go, don't wait in a long line. It isn't worth it.

Beautiful venue, but small collection. For the size of the building, I was expecting more artwork. However, the collection was pretty limited. There are two levels of artwork, but on each level, I’d say only about 50-60% of that real estate goes towards showcasing art. The rest of the rooms/floors were closed off. In addition, there was an additional fee to take pictures in the museum. Note that this includes phone pictures and that staff will frequently go up to you to verify your photo taking eligibility.

Great museum, not as crowded as others and well worth it. The entrance is smooth and the architecture is gorgeous. You can enjoy it in a fast visit to centro. They have a permanent collection of mexican artist and a temporary hall with artwork that is very interesting.

It's worth it just to see the building! But staff was friendly and its a decent reminder some form of this city has been here for 500 years.
