  An Excellent exhibition of the work of the Spanish-Mexican Artist Remedios Varo is what I have seen in the visit made last February. An impressive surreal legacy that favors the meditation and interpretation of the artistic expression that you have in front. The Museum is located in the forest of Chapultepec, near the Monument to the children Heroes. The Cost is $70.00 (Sunday go free to Mexicans). Timetables: Tuesdays to Sundays, 10:15-17:30 hrs. Enjoy the Museum of Modern Art because: LIFE... It's a TRIP!

  Small but great pieces and well designed spaces for viewing. I would have loved to have seen more protest/political art since there is so much that is told mostly in art due to problems in journalism. Mostly either abstract or early modern.
