It truly is an incredible place-let me tell you why. When we planned our trip to Mexico City,the one place I wanted to visit was all the famous taco shops-what can I say,I'm a simple man. The wife though,a native of Mexico and much more classy and refined person than I am,insisted that the number one place we had to visit on our trip to Mexico City was this historic museum. She was right of course. I was thinking that we would go there,spend an hour or two looking at some old statues and ruins and be on our way to the next Mexico City taco adventure.Boy was I wrong,she had earmarked an entire morning and afternoon for our visit to the museum and it wasn't enough. This place didn't seem like much from the outside but once you got in,it was truly mind blowing.It's a really big museum,covering in excess of 10 acres. The museum is split into 23 galleries exploring all five major eras in Mexico history starting with the Prehistoric period dating back to 10,000 BC all the way up to Modern Indigenous Mexico which runs from around 1500 to present. This museum covers an enormous amount of time in Mexico's history. Some of the true highlights from my visit. -The Aztec Sun Stone-most likely the most famous piece of Mexico's history. -The Olmec Colossal Heads-Truly breath taking works,visually stunning. -The Maya Galleries-A true display of how advanced the Mayan people were in science,engineering & art. -The Aztec Hall-easily my favorite gallery,the Aztec people were so advanced of a society and this hall does it best to show you all the ways that they were-a must-see exhibit. -The Umbrella Fountain-this sits in the middle of the main courtyard and truly is one of the great works of architecture Mexico has ever produced-it's so cool to see! The museum is located in the heart of Chapultepec Park,so be sure when going to the museum,your driver drops you off at the correct side of the park or else you will be in for a very long walk to the museum. The museum does have a pretty extensive gift shop,so if one is so inclined, it's very easy to find a souvenir or two to bring home. This review has barely scratched the surface of what you are going to experience when you visit this amazing museum,I truly hope if you ever find yourself in Mexico City,you are lucky enough to visit this truly amazing place.

From the sleek multi-story lobby to the galleries to the the glass-enclosed cafe as the centerpiece of a fabulous roof garden, the changes to the Amparo are incredible. The permanent collection looks better than ever in well-designed displays that make viewing each piece an engaging experience. Many museums treat the presentation of their collections almost as an afterthought but the Amparo made this a priority of their renovation and it allows the visitor to better understand the cultural richness of this region and the country. Even though the permanent collection's quality is renowned, it was the temporary exhibitions that really impressed me during this visit. Johanna Calle's 'Silentes' took over a gallery on the upper level and, a month after it closed, it still resonates with me. Her work comments on the social challenges in her native Colombia. Here, she depicts images of the fragility of children in her society using wire, cloth, paper, and felt. She includes stacks of photos of children for adoption. One wall-mounted piece was remnants from a little girl's dress: just sleeves and a collar. The fabric disappeared into the canvas. Ms. Calle seems to agonize over the subject matter that is obviously close to her heart and I couldn't help but conclude that she wants the viewer to feel the effort she puts into each work. It was a powerful exhibition: don't forget the children; don't let them become invisible victims. If you simply want to relax, take the glass elevator to the top floor for a drink in the cafe. Is there a better rooftop experience in Puebla? Finally, I never comment on museum gift shops but this one has some high-quality crafts for sale. If you're looking for a gift that is more than the typical souvenir, you may find it here.

So when planning this trip to Mexico City-the wifey kept saying how she wanted to make sure we went…read moreto some Bellas Artes place that I had never heard of-so on our 1st unplanned day of the trip-I grabbed an Uber and we headed straight for Palacio de Bellas Artes. As soon as I saw the place I could instantly see why she was so excited.This place is a gorgeous majestic building. It's located right next to a very large park,Alameda Central and very close to the Zocalo. It's a very busy part of town-so be prepared for crowds outside of the building. Once inside it's a lot less crowded and this beautiful building is just as beautiful on the inside as it is on the outside. One thing I did not know about this beautiful art museum is that it is also Mexico City's most famous performing arts center as well. My wife told me about a very famous Juan Gabriel concert that was held there in the 90s.Through the years most of the most famous artists in Mexico have performed at Bellas Artes. Today we are here for the art as this is Mexico City's most famous art museum and after walking thru all 4 floors of the museum,one can definitely see why. Diego Rivera's most famous murals are housed in this museum and they are truly breathtaking.I truly felt proud of my Mexican heritage upon seeing these amazing works of art. Jose Clemente Orozco and David Alfaro Siqueiros have many of their most famous pieces at this museum as well. Anyone looking for Frida Kahlo work though will be disappointed as her work is not permanently featured at this museum. Cost for admission to this museum is 95 Pesos Tuesday thru Saturday and free admission for everyone on Sundays.They are closed on Mondays. In closing,I 100% recommend all visitors to the amazing Mexico City's must make Palacio De Bellas Artes a must-visit destination.It is truly a gem of the city and one of the most memorable experiences the city has to offer.

So thankful we get to experience it. Arrive early; they are sticklers with times. Backpacks will be checked in. Get your tickets at least 1 week in advance! Enjoy the markets of Coyoacán!

(Review based on 3.5 stars)…read more I am so glad that I had done my research about visiting Museo Frida Kahlo prior to coming because you must purchase your tickets online in advance (one to two weeks at least but it is better to purchase earlier if you are able). You will not be able to purchase the day before or the day of online because those tickets would have already sold out. And just as everyone has said, this museum does not sell any tickets at the door. Please note that you will be purchasing timed tickets and you have a short 15 minute window to arrive or you miss your time slot. But if you are after the 15 minute grace period, staff will just put you in the next time slot. I think I am in the minority here with my overall experience of the Museo Frida Kahlo in which I did not like it as much as I had expected. The home and grounds itself is beautiful and I just as I would have imagined visiting an artist's home, it was beautifully and tastefully decorated/ displayed. But placement of items and information boards were not well spread out and so it would bottleneck and get crowded in places. Also people would get really close to me and rub against me or my small purse, which I really was not a fan of (I really value my personal space). Frida Kahlo did live quite a tragic life and she truly was a resilient woman who could have spiraled downward but instead, she channeled her energy into art. But I will say it was rather disappointing that you do not learn much about her life in this museum and would learn more with your own reading online (from a credible source) or from school. In Frida Kahlo's home, I did love the kitchen the most. I loved how it was decorated with these little tiny cups to create a design on the wall and also to spell out both Frida and Diego's name. A building outside of her home is where there is a display of her clothes was actually what I enjoyed the most of this museum. I also preferred the restrooms on this side over the other restrooms closes to the exit of her home. Our visit was fine and am glad I was able to come. But I don't know if I would necessary consider this a must visit if you are visiting Mexico City. It is nice that your purchase of this museum also includes admission to Anahuacalli Museum, Diego's museum but it focuses on his sculptures and not his murals that you may know him more of. And also those tickets for his museum expire in one year. Lastly, after visiting here, consider walking to Mercado Coyoacán, which is about a 10 minute easy walk if you want to grab lunch and do a little browsing and shopping.
