Museum of Modern Art (Museo de Arte Moderno)
Visit Museum of Modern Art (Museo de Arte Moderno) to witness impressive artworks by world famous artists, such as Frida Kahlo. Opened in 1964, the museum contains roughly 3,000 paintings, sculptures, photographs, and drawings. For its time, the museum stands out as an architectural masterpiece. The building's architects created a sense of fluidity between the interior and exterior by liberally using striking materials, such as glass, white marble, raw flint, aluminum, and fiberglass in its construction.

Apart from one or two paintings (one of them by Frida Kahlo) this museum is not worth a visit. We saw it all (two rooms) in about 20 minutes.

Pretty limited with only 2 out of 4 or 5 halls open. Small. Cash only. To call it a museum of modern art is perhaps a little ambitious. The sculpture garden was in poor shape. Basic public parks in CDMX are in far better condition.

Rather disappointing as there is currently only one room open, much of which consists of blurry reproductions of artwork held elsewhere. The limited amount of original art is very interesting, along with the sculpture garden, just a shame that the artistic riches of Mexico are so thinly represented. Staff waiting to pounce if you stray from the one-way arrows.
