  メトロバスの透る大通り側からも入れるようですが、公園の内側に面した入口から入りました。入口で荷物を預かってもらえました。公園側の建物はスタディルームなどが主のようで、主な屋内展示はそこを通り過ぎた大通り側の建物にあります。 フリーダ・カーロが有名でその作品には感銘したのですが、それだけでなく、展示室に置いてある小さな造形作品などにも、中南米らしさのようなものが感じられて、いろいろなものがおもしろか...  more »

  It seems to enter from the main street side where the metro bus clears, but it entered from the entrance facing the inside of the park. I was able to keep my luggage at the entrance. The park side building is mainly a study room, and the main indoor exhibit sits in the main street building past there. Frida Kahlo was famous and impressed with his work, but not only that, but also the small pieces of art in the exhibition room, which seemed to be Latin American, and many things were interesting. It's a good idea to go around the outdoors as well as the art work surrounding the building. Unfortunately, the photo exhibition room did not go to look at the time. I don't go to other museums or museums because of time, so I can't compare them, but I think people who don't reject contemporary art can enjoy it. Unfortunately, there were few postcards of the museum shop exhibits, and there were many famous works, including those in other museums( there were art books, etc.). I wanted to take back what I saw to my memories.

  This museum, I think is little known and little "publicized" because it is in the vicinity of Chapultepec Castle, museum of Anthropology and Forest of Chapultepec However I think it is convenient to tour it, see its sculptures outside and tour the halls of its interior, its painting exhibition, its photography exhibition, each of lis corners I think it's a nice place and worth getting to know

  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.
