If you're into architecture, interior design, or immersive museum experiences, Casa Gilardi is such a cool experience.
This is the famous home of legendary architect Luis Barragán that was later turned into a museum. Every single room feels like walking through art. The colors, lighting, textures, and intentional design details are absolutely stunning in person.
Heads up: you MUST email in advance to secure a time slot because visits are scheduled only. It's also cash only. Admission was 601.65 MXN (about $35 USD) per person when I went.
What made the experience even more special was that Barragán's son, Eduardo, was our guide. He gave detailed history on the home, his father's work, and the meaning behind so many of the design choices. You also get plenty of time to fully take in the spaces and snap photos without feeling rushed.
Definitely recommend if you appreciate thoughtful architecture, beautiful interiors, or want a museum experience that feels a little different from the usual art museum. read more
