Feel it starting in Polanco, where the Museo Jumex and Museo Soumaya function as an essential tandem. Jumex —housed in a minimalist building designed by a British architect— remains one of Latin America’s beacons of contemporary art, with exhibition halls and activities open to the public.
Meanwhile, Soumaya continues to offer its collection free of charge, showcasing iconic architecture and a journey through European, New Spanish, and modern art. Then, find refuge in the tranquility of Chapultepec Forest with a visit to the Rufino Tamayo Museum, which continues to offer modern and contemporary art programming in dialogue with its historic collection.
But the city isn’t limited to its major museums. In neighborhoods like Roma Norte, Galería OMR —founded in 1983— remains a hub of contemporary art, with ongoing exhibitions, emerging talent, and a scene intertwined with cafés, bookstores, and urban design.
This journey demonstrates how Mexico City lives its art in the plural: from the grandeur of major collections to the intimacy of neighborhood spaces, all coexisting with style. This is an invitation: to explore it with open eyes, get lost in its galleries, and allow yourself to be surprised by its living art.
If avant-garde art appeals to you, the MUAC
(University Museum of Contemporary Art
at UNAM) has just reopened after a brief
closure in 2025, featuring new exhibitions from
Wednesday to Sunday under updated hours.
