Paula M. • December 11, 2021One word: huge! But so full of history and nice things to see. Don’t miss the Piedra del sol!

Eduardo N. • July 2, 2016If in Mexico City do not miss this spectacular museum. Just visiting the building is worth it, but they also have the best collection of Mexican Art.

Beena K. • December 30, 2018Don’t be intimidated by long lines during weekends. They move pretty fast. One of the best art museums in Mexico City.

Luis D. • March 4, 2016Love it! The library is awesome, very beutiful

Kandu T. • December 6, 2018An excellent museum with a very contemporary architecture and always offers very good exhibits that change constantly. One of the best places to check new works of art, both modern and contemporary.

Paula M. • December 1, 2021Free museum and it is a very good one! Huge, amazing pieces, so worthy! Reserve 2-3h to see the whole place

Damon S. • February 1, 2019Excellent art museum with interesting rotating galleries and very unique architecture

Yung-Anne Y. • September 17, 2017Guided tour was just as interesting as the architecture. Worth paying for the "photograph" fee.

Damon S. • August 14, 2018Very interesting and well curated visit. Most of the artifacts seem to come from a museum in Los Angeles and the amount of English is less than expected. Free entry and worth a visit!

Max W. • November 20, 2016Really interesting and well preserved. Get the audio guide, and buy tickets online in advance (can do day of)

Camille V. • August 13, 2018Love it here! However there are no explanations in English (or any other languages except Spanish), which is a shame! I would have loved to read a bit about it

Paul F. • April 17, 2016Historic mail center. Like the name says... It's a palace! Very rich and beautiful, make sure to drop in. IT'S FREE!

Go Man Go! M. • July 13, 2018This museum uses the site of the Old Mint, birthplace of the Peso and all countries' pesos therefore.

Adrian C. • August 24, 2014Great place to get a general idea of the variety of cultures and art crafts you can find in Mexico. Its worth the 2 hours visit. The shop is great to get authentic souvenirs. Not cheap though.

Laura W. • July 13, 2015The place is stunning on its own!

Manolo M. • July 12, 2016Suban y hagan todo el recorrido de la cimentación y estructura hasta subir a la punta

Chilango25 • May 13, 2017Un auténtico tesoro escondido en la CDMX. La visita guiada es fundamental, tanto el recorrido como la historia del lugar son fascinantes. Estar en la sala de fundición es un privilegio. ¡Disfrútenlo!

Fernanda S. • December 24, 2010Super nice gardens and history stuff!!! ;) amazing view

Gregory F. • February 18, 2020Nice free museum to see the inside of a grand old house. You can be in and out in 15-30 minutes
