Museo Soumaya

Amazing museum, free to the public thanks to the generosity of Carlos Slim. I was aware that they had a considerable number of European masters, but there was also a sizable collection of Asian ivory and a great selection of Mexican artists. I don’t think I have ever seen so many Rodin’s in my life! The entrance hall has a piece by Rodin, The Gates of Hell, which is just jaw-dropping, I have seen variations a couple of times in other cities, but this was by far my favourite.

Extraordinary museum. It is a very complete gallery contains different moments of the history of art. It takes more than one evening to cover everything, so be prepared to come more than one time. You'll be amazed!

There's many things to see, the best set collection in Mexico City. I loved the pictures and the museum.

The Soumaya is a spectacle from the outside. It's Martian-like futuristic shape made me really wonder what the inside was like. After seeing it in person, I was a little sad to see that the Interior doesn't match the exterior. The collection is okay for general culture but wish it had the same presence the exterior has. Pros: it's free and the floor filled with all the Mexican Art and artifacts made me happy.

Incredible architecture and impressive collection spanning Spanish, Mexican, Asian, and European artwork. Not to mention it's free and open 365 days/year! The beautiful and fragrant roses outside make it even more of a sure thing. No restaurant inside, though, which is fine, but just something to note.
