    When in CDMX: appreciate the architecture. Completed in 1976, this is the last house that Luis Barragan constructed before he died. It has been and remains to be a private residence, so be mindful of that in booking a tour- you wouldn't want someone to come knocking on your door at 9 pm and want to come in and have a look-see. Our tour was led by one of the sons that grew up in the house (no relation to Barragan but family friends whom the house was built for) and was as delightfully informative as it was inclusive; we felt we were in a conversation rather than a lecture. This is a definite must if you find yourself in the area, and it is a short walk from the Anthropology museum and the castle in the park right across the street.

    Museo Tamayo - "Jaguar 1" (2013)

    Museo Rufino Tamayo is situated in beautiful Chapultepec Park and it hosts exhibitions of…read morecontemporary art, drawing from its own collection of modern and contemporary works, alongside pieces from the collection of its founder, the artist Rufino Tamayo. I really enjoyed walking to the museum and seeing the various fountains and gardens in the park on the way. The museum's architecture and structure is its highlight and if you're into 1980s brutalist style buildings, you will enjoy it. I personally find it quite striking and it blends in nicely and doesn't block or change the lushness of the park around it. It was crafted by Mexican architects Teodoro González de León and Abraham Zabludovsky. The exhibitions tend to be extremely modern and avant garde, featuring Latin American artists from all over the Americas. On my visit, I also saw an exposition that was made in conjunction with the Andy Warhol foundation "Conversation with the Cosmos"; an exhibition of works from late Filipino artist David Medalla. Things tend to be very interactive; there are interactive screens and headphones that you can use that are part of the constantly changing video exhibitions. There was an exhibition going on that also had the possibility of hitting golf balls that were an integral part of the artwork ! So it is a fun museum, and as well some of the art I saw was very political and potentially controversial. I really love the museum shop and they have a fantastic collection of Mexican crafted fragrances, candles and really nice T-shirts and hoodies with cool graphics. Very cutting edge stuff. Definitely worth a trip if you're walking into the park and have an hour to spare. Unfortunately, it's not free. Certainly worth a visit if you have already seen the Museo Jumex and Soumaya.

    I'll confess that my review may be influenced by my artistic tastes. But I personally didn't find…read morethis museum very appealing at all. Much of the artwork was quite crude - both literally (e.g., sculptures were very rough, paintings were more "approximate" and messy) and figuratively (e.g., lots of nudity and sexual content). A few of the artistic pieces were interesting, but most of it was boring or outright repulsive. Your tastes may vary, so feel free to check out Museo Tamayo if it sounds appealing to you. But there are so many better art museums in CDMX - I personally wouldn't waste my time or money here.

There is no ticket booth and we saw people come and ask for same day tickets and they were turned away. The house is a nice place with a garden along with Fridas art and memorabilia. I didn't know much about her other than she was an artist. They explain a lot and I learned that she had a German father. Put this on your list when you visit Mexico City. But your tickets directly from the official website they are much cheaper than the third party tickets.

    An excellent, educational, understandably crowded monument to a great talent, cut down too soon. I…read moredidn't know much at all about Frida Kahlo until preparing to visit. Tickets are for timed entry and there are many discounts so purchase ahead. There are 2 buildings (house and museum) as well as a courtyard, cafe and shop. Free, well maintained restrooms (bring a coin to tip). Because of the crowds (10:45a ticket on a Thursday), it's a bit difficult to take in everything that is included in each room. Her Art, (as well as some by others about her), diaries, letters, household and art collection as well as some videos are included and well notated. The second building, labeled as Dresses, contained much more. Definitely recommend. Really stars for content but I think it's oversold.
