Museo Jumex is a contemporary art museum located in Polanco. Admission is free, although weekends can 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. read more

Museo Jumex was a good modern art museum. There were some weird features there, such as an artist's work that was made from his own hair, as well as a video of an artist beating up a mannequin of himself. There were some more normal things too that were similar to what you'd see in other contemporary art museums. The price of admission was great - free! And the location is excellent too - not too far from the Polanco neighborhood read more

This is a small modern art museum. Would not travel just to do this but when combined with the Museo Sumaiya next door, it's worth the trip.

This is a nice museum that only takes about 30 mins max. The day we stopped by, it was pretty empty so we were able to see every single piece. They have employees standing around but we did not interact with them. There was also a gift shop on the first floor. The balcony area had a perfect view of the sculpture up front and of SouMaya. Check this place out! read more

Out of all the museums I visited while in CDMX, Museo Jumex was the best. Here's why: 1) Price: Admission is free! 2) Exhibit: We went when the Urs Fischer: Lovers exhibit was up. Every floor was unique from the toilet with fruit coming out of it to the "Rain" room. My friend and five-year-old daughter found each floor interesting. It's also the perfect size. It's not overwhelming, but you leave feeling like you saw lots of art. 3) Store: Spend time in the gift shop at the end where you'll find interesting gifts from books to posters to cards. 4) Neighborhood: There's lots to see nearby from shops to a theater to the Museu Soumaya. read more

I ended up going to Mexico City on a solo trip that was never originally planned to be a solo trip. I stayed at the red treehouse bed-and-breakfast and took an Uber to this museum. I stayed in the La Condesa neighborhood, but many of the museums are in Polanco which is all and near proximity to each other. I am not familiar with Damien Hirst's work, but the museum was three floors of our long worth of very detailed viewing. Yelp has limitation on how many photos you can add so I tried to add the most compelling ones. When you go into the museum, they don't want you taking any video? You can only take pictures and it's very hard to get close enough to the work to see the details because security ask you to stand 3 feet away from everything. There was quite a bit of work around the pharmaceutical industry cigarettes and their impact on health and the environment of animals collected in formaldehyde and collections of art made of butterflies. In addition to the museum itself, it has 365 views of the surrounding neighborhood with the quintessential purple trees a mall that is directly next-door and other museums in walking distance did I mention this museum is free. The lines can be quite long, if you wait too long to get there so just be prepared to wait in the sun. The museum is enough to offer black umbrellas. If you are in parts of the line that are in the sun to block out the heat. I went in late March and the weather was amazing with bright blue skies, but a nice cool breeze so keep an eye on the weather and time of year that you visit. read more

Right across the street from SouMaya, there was no line and admission was free for the day after Christmas! Small museum that reminded me of MoMa with modern art, several soft light exhibits and films on projectors. 3 floors total, the best one included a gorgeous 3D exhibit with natural lighting (see third picture). Great for a Sunday afternoon! read more

Museo Jumex - Lovely exhibition!! - Museums Near Me - Ciudad de México, DIF

This is an amazing museum. It's fun. It's modern. It's interactive. It creates space for users to interpret and also provides context and material about the history of the artist, art and concepts. One entire floor was several overlapping installations -- a giant clock that would move forward on a screen, the lights would go on and off and there was noise like cicadas ... the floor was covered with clean carpet and scattered 8.5 x 11" sheets of paper with poetry. There was a self playing piano and a bunch of mylar balloons on the other side... it was FUN. Another floor was full of art from an American artist who plays a lot with words and images, learning to read, syntax and meaning. This was super well organized and really enjoyable. All the staff were very friendly and helpful - from the front desk and security guards, to the docents and even the staff at the coffee bar. Free wifi, too! Great spot to visit and even a good meeting place for friends to relax and chat. Stupendous views! read more

Current exhibits not worth the long wait. Yes it's free on Sunday. But there are only two exhibits. One on Cartier jewelry - pretty jewelry but repetitive. All in dark rooms in snaking lines. People stopping to pictures of every piece slowed the proceedings down. The other exhibit was an installation artist originally from Greece. Many rooms full of unexceptional pieces that were not worth a 30-45 minute wait outside in the sun and then inside. The whole thing was disappointing. They did provide cold apple juice and umbrellas while you waited. read more

I enjoyed the exhibition. These included one on television. The parody of a telenovela was clever, with different actors in each scene. If you like contemporary conceptual art, you will enjoy your visit. On this 5th anniversary the admission was free and there was free food and drink too at night. read more

If I lived in CDMX, I'd become a museum member. The Museo Jumex is great. I've seen Baldessari's work before, and always loved it, but in the great galleries of the Jumex, it's even more amazing and clever. We were there on a Sunday, so admission was free. And, despite the other museums in the immediate area being fairly crowded, this one had relatively sparse crowds: good for the visitors who were there, but no so great for the museum itself. And, the money we would have spent for admission, we spent at the small, well curated gift shop. The space itself is minimalist yet warm. The staff was helpful. I cannot wait to return to CDMX, and the Museo Jumex is one of the reasons why. read more

There was a temporary Marcel Duchamp and Jeff Koons exhibit when I visited that spanned all three floors of the museum (no permanent collections). The exhibit was very well done, with detailed and insightful Spanish and English signage and lots of key pieces by both artists arranged thematically. The building is also very nice, including the bathrooms. It's free for students. read more

We were visiting the Soumaya Museo when we had an extra hour to kill. We decided to walk into the Museo Jumex and ask how much it was. For 30 pesos ($1.50ish) we thought, "porque no?" The mused highlights rotating exhibits so you can either get very good exhibits or not. I would recommend looking on their website ahead of time, to see what is showing. When we got into the museum we realized that two floors were not viewable, however the other two floors were. We highly enjoyed the exhibit that was on the third floor. We stayed about an hour and then left. For the money, I would say go for it! Would not make a trip out of it though. read more

This was truly the worst museum I have ever been to anywhere in the world. Skip this and go to the much better Soumaya across the park. We came for the James Turell exhibition. It was tightly controlled, every move a guard told you where to go, what to see. I have never been to a museum where you are not able to wander and view as you'd like. The line into the show was long, complicated, and slow for a not great experience. The show was poorly organized for the space and number of people. It's clear they did not know how to handle crowds. Unlike the free and spacious Soumaya, this small museum also broke up multiple gallery shows with different tickets, making a limited experience even more restrictive. We only had access to floors 3 and 4 and were stopped before entering the outdoor space. If this were a large museum, I'd understand, but for such small galleries this segmentation was bizarre. Really disappointed. read more

So it took me two months to finally sit down and write this review but here it is. I made my visit to Museo Jumex during the Christmas break, and the lines at the Sumaya and aquarium were both ridiculously long, however this place had virtually no line, which I really think is a shame because the exhibitions present during my visit were captivating and beautiful. I was able to see the exhibitions on three different floors each floor was spacious, clean and quiet, which is how in my opinion, art museums should be. I think that even if you've not a fan of modern art you should come visit this place for a little peace of tranquility that the space offers. However I really enjoyed the installations, and my experience overall. Also, the entrance was free! read more

Amazing! Absolutely do this with the guide because there is so much more to the art (of all visual forms) than the signage could ever describe. My guide (I think Michelle??) did a fantastic job explaining the pieces as well as reasoning behind the structuring of exhibits, and even a bit about the building itself. If you like art, this is a great site. Also was not crowded on a weekday morning and free for students or teachers read more

El Museo esta muy bonito, grande, y ubicado con muy bonita vistas en Polanco. Sin embargo las exposiciones dejan mucho que desear. Solo un piso (el 2) tiene algunas puezas interesantes, y los demas pisos se ven vacios, listos para recibir algo llamativo, que aun no se sabe cuándo llegará. read more

Don't understand the bad reviews. The Calder pieces really give new meaning to sculpture. The art is about balance and simplicity. Granted, entry is expensive and no photography is allowed. The balconies also give good view to Museo Soumaya and Saks 5th Avenue (lol) read more
