15 Best Museums in Mexico City
"The Museo de Arte Popular is a unique museum that focuses on Mexican folk and popular art. The museum has wonderful, colorful displays of traditional pottery, handicrafts, and instruments, from indigenous traditions through to religious and more modern traditions too. Once a year the Museo de Arte Popular sponsors the iconic Alebrije Parade, which sees enormous depictions of Mexican folkloric monsters being paraded through the streets of Mexico City."

Mexico City’s Five Best Contemporary Art Museums
"The Jumex Foundation, long regarded as the premier corporate collection of contemporary art in Latin America, began the Jumex museum in Polanco to at least occasionally show off some its collections. Mostly the David Chipperfield-designed museum in Polanco shows off the fact that contemporary art is still not that easy to find. The Jumex Foundation website (redesigned multiple times since the museum opened in 2012) has gotten a little better at promoting shows as they’re scheduled to open, and that includes nearly a full slate for 2017."

Mexico City: The Essential Art Guide
"In the last year I have seen impressive exhibitions showcasing works ranging from Andy Warhol to John Baldessari, and all of this is to say that the museum geared towards innovation and experimentation IS worth a visit. Designed by architect Sir David Chipperfield, it incorporates domestically sourced materials into the impressive construction that encourages conversation, curiosity and introspection."

The Best Art Galleries in Mexico City
"The so-called MoMA of Mexico City is the enormous five-story Museo Jumex. With a distinctive David Chipperfield designed, but neutral colored exterior, this museum blows people away. The comprehensive and permanent collection of modern art here includes framed pieces by modern artists such as Gabriel Orozco, Jeff Koons and Andy Warhol."

"A multilevel structure built to house international modern art, donated by Oaxaca-born painter Rufino Tamayo to the people of Mexico. The museum exhibits cutting-edge works from around the globe, which are thematically arranged with shows from the Tamayo collection. The renovated Tamayo has a new rustic-chic restaurant overlooking the park, an ideal breakfast stop before exploring Chapultepec's sights."

Mexico City’s Five Best Contemporary Art Museums
"At the end of the 1970s, Oaxacan artist, Rufino Tamayo, began to acquire works to form his own collection of contemporary international art. He later donated the collection to the Mexican people in order to better present the world artistic panorama to them. Inaugurated just in 1981, it became part of the National Institute of Fine Arts just a few later."

"Antonio León 82, San Miguel Chapultepec I Sec, 11850 Ciudad de México, CDMX. Barely a foot in this house, and you will be transported by a mixture of colors, elementary but well thought out, while playing with light effects. Designed by the architect Luis Barragan in the late 80’s, this work will add a simple and unusual touch to your photos."

"Going to La Faena is like transporting yourself to the 19th century when the only drinks to choose from were beer or tequila. The old patrons have been coming here since their youth, but packs of younger, hipper folks are joining their ranks as regulars. The cantina also functions, strangely enough, as a matador museum."

"If you haven’t, we will tell you a little bit about it — pulque is the cousin of mezcal, but it’s fermented instead of distilled. It’s made of the sap of the maguey plant, the type of agave used for making the drinks we know and love, and it comes in various flavors. Mexicans love it, and foreigners, well… don’t have the same feelings about it."
