Museo Jumex is a contemporary art museum located in Polanco. Admission is free, although weekends…read morecan get very crowded.
During my CDMX visit in May 2026, I got the opportunity to visit the museum and I really enjoyed the FIFA World Cup themed exhibits.
I'm not a soccer fan, but I still found the exhibit educational and genuinely intriguing. One of the most fascinating sections was about the 1971 "Women's World Cup" in Mexico, which was unofficially hosted by the country and drew large crowds despite FIFA not formally recognizing it at the time. The exhibit examines how this moment in sports history was largely erased from mainstream, and simultaneously celebrates the women and fans who made it significant.
The show does an excellent job connecting sports, culture, gender, media, and historical memory in a way that feels important ans meaningful even if you know very little about soccer.
Also, Museo Jumex has wonderful restrooms.
