The National Museum of Popular Culture is a small to mid-sized museum located in Coyoacán district…read morein CDMX, that collects and catalogs, displays, promotes, and preserves traditional and contemporary art pieces, art forms, and handicrafts of varied regions, cultures/ethnicities and social groups within Mexico. The entrance is a little confusing, the front doorway closest to the road only leads to the library/bookshop. Follow the path around the right where one entry to an exhibit is via the building's back entrance and entry to another exhibit is via the building on the back right. When I visited on a Sunday, entrance was free and there was also no one directly stopping visitors to ask for tickets, so I ended up wandering around a couple minutes to find the entrances. While not a huge museum, it was interesting to drop by and check out the current exhibits. There were 3.5 galleries displaying artworks when I visited in January, the half gallery being basically two small rooms with nacimientos (Mexican nativity scene models of varied media and art forms). The larger rooms held works of 1) an art collective focused on traditional and contemporary art forms of the Michoacán region, 2) winning submissions from the 50th edition of the National Folk Art Competition of 2025, which featured all sorts of traditional, contemporary and fusion art forms enriched with Mexican iconography and techniques, 3) "Creators: Dreams and Realities: Indigenous and Afro-descendant Women in the Arts," which shared contemporary works by women in marginalized communities. A lot of creativity and talent in a small space! The museum took about 30 minutes to walk thru, not crowded at all on a Sunday afternoon even considering free admission, actually very quiet and with only a few other visitors. Note for non-Spanish speakers, there are minimal descriptions in English so plan to brush up on your Duolingo or use a translation app. General admission: $21 pesos Free Admission for: - children under 12 years of age, - student, teacher, or INAPAM members with valid ID (ages 60+) Sundays: free admission for the general public For more info: https://mncp.cultura.gob.mx

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.

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.

The sun stone and the jade mask were two of the most impressive pieces there.

It gave me an increasingly sobered view of current Russian politics, if only from a historic mindset. In addition to the home and history on Trotsky, there is a one room art gallery that hosts different exhibits. The exhibit when I visited was excellent covering a large range of work by Algerian artist Imene Khelifi.

So on a recent trip to Mexico City-I was told before I left and even by the employees at our hotel…read moreand just about every Uber driver we had that their were certain things a 1st time visitor to Mexico City had to do-it was normal things like visit the Capital-visit the Basilica-they said you had the visit the museum of anthropology and of course had to visit Chapultepec Park-but one thing a few of them said that I wasn't sure how to take seriously was I had to go see Luche Libre,preferably on a Friday night while in Mexico City.We arrived on a Thursday so in order to make Luche Libre the next night,it was going to take some quick planning. After some research I found out the biggest and most popular Luche Libre event is held at Arena Mexico which was conveniently located less than a 1/2 a mile from my hotel-for sure walking distance in the pleasant Roma Norte neighborhood we were staying in. So I found out they held Luche Libre 3x a week at this arena-on Sundays-Tuesdays and Fridays....Sundays and Tuesdays are the cheapest nights to go and are more focused on family oriented nights and most likely a bit less popular wrestlers.Friday nights event is the biggest of the week,most expensive,most popular and they usually have the higher quality matches of the week. A great example is really good seats on a Friday nights-say within 10 rows of the ring will cost you 1000 pesos($55.00) where as on a Sunday or a Tuesday night that same seat will cost you 1/3 of the cost so like 350 pesos($20.00).Being the bargain hunter that I am,that was a hard sell for me but the wifey wanted to go on the most popular night so we ended up going on a Friday night. Once we arrived at the arena-it was chaos but in that great way-there was so much going on-so many bars and restaurants in the area were jumping and had lots of people and lots of live music-their were vendors setup everywhere with many of them selling Luche Libre merchandise including the masks,which I almost bought but decided to skip this time. Their are a ton of scalpers on the streets trying to sell tickets but being that this was my 1st time and having no idea what a ticket is even supposed to look like,I decided to just go thru traditional means and buy a ticket at the ticket booth they have setup at the Arena. Tickets for this particular event ranged from 1000 pesos($55.00) for tickets near ringside to as cheap as 200 pesos($12.00) which are seats at the top of the arena,which in retrospect I think would've been fine but there is something about experiencing an event like this pretty close to ringside if given the opportunity-so we did that. It's hard to explain unless you experience it just how popular Luche Libre is in Mexico City without experiencing it firsthand-it's such a wild event-people get so into it,the crowd is so enthusiastic with lots of chants and moans and groans depending on what's happening in the matches-it's pretty wild. Beers are pretty cheap-I was able to have a Mexico City style michelada,which is unique in that it doesn't feature tomato juice like a regular michelada and it only cost 160 pesos($9.00) and it features 2 tall cans poured into your glass,I felt like it was a pretty good value. The arena itself I wouldnt say is modern but I would say it's comfortable-the chairs are a bit antiquated and maybe a bit too close to the person next to you but it kinda makes the events feel like your experiencing something special together like a community if that makes sense-personal space is not a thing in Mexico City I learned on this trip. There are plenty of bathrooms at the venue but they do that thing where they try to sell you tissue paper before you go in,especially for the ladies but it's not needed,the wifey says that night there was plenty already in the bathrooms available for free. Getting out of the event wasn't as hectic as I expected because people leave early as I've learned that Luche Libre is mostly just a starting point of the evening for patrons in Mexico City,especially tourists,usually the 1st stop before hitting up the local bar scene or restaurants in the area. In closing if you ever find yourself visiting Mexico City,I would 100% recommend attending one of these Luche Libre events as it's such a fun and unique event and one I won't forget about anytime soon. PS-the mask thing is real-I'd say 10% of the fans in there were wearing Luche Libre masks in the crowd while the fights were going on-it was hilarious. PSS-one last fun fact-the snack vendors sell some really good snacks and very inexpensive but the one that caught me off guard was how many people were eating doctored up versions of Maruchan Cup of Noodles in the crowd-they add hot sauce and chili powder and lime and they looked pretty good--something you rarely see at sporting events in America.
