Must see · Art Museum · Museum
Admire works from Mexican and international artists at Palacio de Bellas Artes. Construction on the domed palace begun in 1905, using art nouveau and neoclassical architectural styles, but was it delayed by sinking foundations and a political uprising. When the building was finally completed in the 1930s, a touch of art nouveau influence added to the melange of styles. Immerse yourself in Mexican fine culture at the impressive palace, which today houses several museums and galleries, as well as a theater.

    Would absolutely add this to the must see list if going to Mexico City. The murals are incredible - all of them including the Rivera’s. We would absolutely recommend finding a guide to dive deeper...  more »

    Awesome exterior and good place to hangout. On Sundays is free admission, but we went around the building on Wednesday. Good photos. There is a coffee shop on the eight floor in sears building, where you have better views.
