Such a nice Museum to visit, small museum with many great paintings and lots of information about “La Guerrero “, and beautiful view from the terrace.

This is a wonderful, newish museum in a historic building across from the Alameda Park, just down from the Franz Mayer and Stamp Museums.
It's one of the limited number of art museums open on Mondays, but it is closed on Tuesdays.

There is something very intimate about the museum collection, the work of a single individual who obviously lived to collect Mexican art. Each work is an example of a period in an artist's life. For example, the Diego Rivera painting is very early and unrecognizable, reflecting European influence before he developed his personal Mexicanismo style.  The several Dr. Atl, including a wonderful auto-retrato, are perfect examples of his mature style.

There is one sala that highlights the work of Spanish artists who immigrated to Mexico due to the Spanish Civil War, sometimes after great suffering and even imprisonment. Knowing the background of the artists increased appreciation for the paintings.

The lighting, unlike many other museums here, highlights paintings with minimal glare. QR codes  provide information on each exhibit room. Perhaps because it is less well known than other art museums in the Centro, it has never been crowded, so one can feel that the paintings are there just for you to appreciate without distraction.

The young staff are very sweet as they direct the visitor from sala to sala. There's an elevator for mobility impaired visitors to access the upper floors. A pretty cafe on the large and open roof terrace provides light meals and a grand view of the city. The restrooms on the roof terrace are exceptionally clean and attractive for a building open to the public - they feel luxurious!

There are free concerts and cultural events offered at night; check the museum website for the schedule. With an INAPAM card, the cost was 30 pesos. The usual ticket cost is 60 pesos for Mexican nationals and 90 pesos for all others.

With a separate entrance, one can visit the current special Tan Tin Tan exhibit for free. If you are unfamiliar with this iconic Mexican entertainer from the last century you won't be after viewing the clever arrangements of film clips, photographs, period appurtenances, and personal items. One can watch complete Tin Tan films in a comfortable auditorium that is in the back of the exhibit rooms. There's so much slap stick and physical comedy that one doesn't have to be fluent in Spanish to enjoy the films. The movie posters are fun in themselves. My favorite was for the film, "The Mark of Zorillo", a play on "The Mark of Zorro", changing "fox" to "skunk".

Apparently, Tin Tan is the best attended exhibit the museum has had. It's fun. Go while it's still there. And if you love Mexican painting from the 18th century to today, enjoy the collection in the welcoming main museum. The Kaluz is one of my 3 favorite art museums in the city.

The main courses celebrate the essence of Mexican cuisine with a modern presentation. Choose from succulent grilled chicken marinated in traditional adobo sauce, or delight in tender slow-cooked pork carnitas served with warm corn tortillas and freshly chopped cilantro.

End your meal on a sweet note with traditional Mexican desserts that are both comforting and indulgent. The rich churros, dusted with cinnamon sugar and served alongside a luscious chocolate dipping sauce, are a perennial favorite. Alternatively, savor a creamy flan topped with caramel, delivering a silky texture and delicate sweetness that perfectly complements the bold flavors of the main courses.
