Stumbled upon this place by accident. All the other museums in town were closed so I was surprised…read moreand excited to find an open one. The museum isn't tiny but it's also not very big. There's no way to spend more than an hour here. Likely, a thirty minute visit if you take the time to look/read. The art is contemporary so in my opinion, hit or miss. There were pieces which I loved and others which confused or repulsed me. It's all part of the contemporary art experience though, no? Go with the flow. Don't expect to find translations as the captions were in Spanish. Use a translation app. Oaxaca isn't particularly English-friendly overall. It's a bit of a struggle at times but I'm learning Spanish so it was good practice. Either way, this is contemporary art. I think you can still appreciate and enjoy it without having all the context/background. Very cheap entrance fee. 20 pesos = 1 USD.

Walked here on a Saturday afternoon in early July 2023. The institute was free of charge to enter…read more It had one very small gallery and a library. My partner and I explored the facility and it took us all of five minutes to see the place. Would not recommend coming here if you're looking for some time to kill. Although it was small, I did find it to be very cute. Drop by if you're in the area but do not go out of your way. This place is mostly for students looking for a place to study. The courtyard was very quaint. Would not recommend coming here if you're a tourist. I did not notice if the place has air conditioning but I doubt they do. Beautiful place to come here to study though. I did not see any other tourists there.

There's not too much to see (the home is very small), but it I learned a little bit about Benito Juárez and the home is charming (lovely courtyard and pretty bougainvillea).
